Become a Millionaire on a Middle-Class Salary

Peer-reviewed, financial academic studies say you can beat most investment professionals with a simple strategy. It takes just an hour a year. You don't need to search for a bunch of hot stocks or winning mutual funds. You don't need to pay attention to investment news, economic trends, or the market ups and downs. Nobel Prize winners in economics have been saying this for years. Warren Buffett echoes it. Andrew Hallam brings it all to life with Millionaire Teacher, Second Edition.
With clarity and humor, Andrew shows how any patient, middle-class income earner can build a million dollar investment portfolio. He provides a guide for Americans, Canadians, Australians, Singaporeans, and British investors. You can spend responsibly, invest effectively, and build a solid financial future.
