Catching up with Millionaire Teacher and Expat – Andrew Hallam
– myownadvisor.ca
Learn, save, invest and prosper with My Own Advisor.Part of the joy that comes with running this blog is the opportunity to meet and share personal finance and investing perspectives with folks I wouldn’t have normally gotten to know. Andrew Hallam is one of those individuals.
I’ve been a fan of Andrew’s for a long time. I followed his blog (and continue to do so) long before my praise about Millionaire Teacher was published on my site. This book in particular opened my eyes to the world of indexing and how following some simple financial rules can be your keys to financial freedom.
The Millionaire Teacher is also a Millionaire Expat and his most recent book provided guidance for global expatriates living and investing abroad.
I recently got a chance to catch up with Andrew to get his thoughts about the current state of the stock market, his current investment strategy, what he thinks about my investment approach, his advice to Gen X and Millennials, and much more.
Andrew, what can I say, thanks for doing this, great to chat catch up after a couple of years…
