Millionaire Teacher: The Nine Rules of Wealth You Should Have Learnt in School by Andrew Hallam (2011)
Read (Kindle): September 2012
When Scotty first mentioned this book I thought it was just about a teacher who was a millionaire, and didn't realise that it was also actually about 'teaching' people to be able to do the same. Scotty was so keen to read it that he downloaded it onto the Kindle within a few hours of discovering it and he read it in less than a week. I then started it a few days later on Scotty's recommendation, and also finished it within a few days.
We both found the book to be really informative and really relevant for our situation. Hallam is an international teacher like us, and we have been trying to work out what to do with our savings recently so finding this book and ideas linked in perfectly. The ideas in the book helped us be more confident about taking control of our own savings, rather than having others manage them for us. It also helped us understand the stock markets and shares a bit more and how different savings styles work. We weren't looking to have a huge understanding of the stock markets, so this book was just right, as it does not go in to detail about 'buy and sell' etc, but just enough to get the understanding you need to play the 'long game' of savings and investments.
I'd definitely recommend this book for other people who are interested in taking control of their savings (however small or large) and who want to invest for a significant period of time.
