9 Rules to Becoming a Millionaire, with Andrew Hallam | Afford Anything Podcast (Ep. #60)
Andrew Hallam grew a million-dollar investment portfolio on a schoolteacher’s salary … by his mid-30’s.
Wow.
He’s read more than 400 books about investing and money management, and he’s whittled decades of knowledge and experience to nine basic rules.
In his bestselling book, Millionaire Teacher, he describes these nine lessons in detail.
He shares these nine rules on this podcast, and his ideas are so substantive that - for the first time - I decided to release his interview as a two-part series.
In last week’s episode, Andrew shared the first three rules of building wealth. This week, Andrew dives into the final six rules that can turn middle-class people into millionaires.
Here’s a sneak peek:
#1: Learn how to think and spend like a millionaire.
#2: Start investing early. Time is your greatest investment ally.
#3: Choose low-cost index funds. Small fees pack big punches.
#4: Understand your inner psychology. Conquer the enemy in the mirror.
#5: Learn how to build a balanced, responsible portfolio.
#6: Create an indexed account, no matter where you live.
#7: Don’t resign yourself to taking this journey alone.
#8: Inoculate yourself against slick sales rhetoric.
#9: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
These rules may sound simple, but our discussion took an advanced turn. Andrew and I dive deep into thorny topics like hedge funds, casinos, and human psychology.
Enjoy this two-part series, and don’t forget to check out Andrew’s excellent book, Millionaire Teacher..

As soon as you can, for as long as you can: 1, make as much money as you can. 2, spend as little as you can. 3, invest as much as you can.

Amazing that this podcast was from 4 years ago, and people had the same scares as today. I am more determined than ever to tune out the noise and just steadily invest in index funds.
moral of the story: 54:20. thank you, Andrew for helping us all out 😭👏🏽👏🏽
Hi Paula, I found the interview super helpful. Thank you very much.
Loved this. I also read Millionaire Teacher and learned a ton from it. Great advice. Thanks!
This was a fascinating podcast. Thanks Paula for introducing me Andrew Hallam. He is so knowledgeable in area of personal finance & excellent communicator. I wish he could have taught me personal finance in high school.
I am a school teacher AND a millionaire Love this video !!
This interview is great. Keep bringing smart people to listen to. 😍
Great Video. Thank you for posting.
Just want to say thank you for giving back & helping in my financial journey.
Excellent summary and wrap up. Great podcast. I learned about CAPE ratios for the first time. This was great! I read the book and listened to parts 1 and 2. The book was so clear and answered so many questions and clarified. Your summaries to clarify understanding, during the podcast, were so helpful. You asked things I wanted to ask and didn't think to ask. Thank you. Had no idea your first language was Nepalese. I am an English teacher overseas and did not detect any accent. I did notice your enunciation and articulation were quite clear and I figured that was because you had a radio voice or some related training. I raced to Howja Say. I will provide this resource to my students. Thank you for everything!
Way more complicated portfolio business than the genius simplicity of JL Collins’ recommendation of a total stock market fund hands off
I took decision after listening to your podcast.. thank you Andrew n Paula
I love you channel! Thank you for your hard work!
Very inspirational!
great show!🧡
Thank you Paula, Thank you Andrew. I learned alot about fees in investing. I need to retake a look at how I invest my money.
Heck no, we understand! I've been increasing market investments over the last 7 months PRAYING for a substantial drop. But then, I think of my parents that are both 60... I just hope it drops for this year maybe next year then rebounds ;) wishful thinking ;)

A Great podcast. I prefer all weather portfolio as i cant stomach market volatility.
Epic!!!
Awesome information. Thanks for sharing this 👍👍💰💰💰
Ref 21:55 - Hmmm, this strategy sounds very much like the Permanent Portfolio advocated by Harry Browne and later written about by Craig Rowland.
Paula, do an update interview. Andrew probably has a lot more to share given all that's happened in 5 years.
Bingo. This is what all the super conservative passive 3-4%/yr bond investors don't get. The higher return of a full stock investment over the long run will always do better. Through ups and downs, S&P has returned 9-10% a year on average. If you just take out 3-4% a year, your portfolio continues to grow, and if you keep the dollar withdrawal amount the same every year, the percentage decrease every year.
There should be course on Jack Bogle in all high schools.

Great content, sounded like a friend of mine, but I'm not very sure about the market due to volatility and i'm more focused on short term and following a news about an investor who grew huge profit in few months, my question is, what strategies can i apply to make this from the current market?

There are good gains in the trading market with good research , i started using this strategy when the market crash begun and I've been able to to double the value of my portfolio to about $380,000 although i have been investing in the past few years i still needed the help of an investment expert because i feel trading requires a lot of research and grounded experience.

Paula keeps getting hung up with her rational brain on why people would gamble against the continual top performance of indexes. Indexes don't outperform in 100% of scenarios and never will "So you are saying there is a chance?" is the thing peoples brains go to and they want to be those winners. That and/or just intellectual laziness and apathy towards their financial future are super common as well.

If the factors are based on risk you can't arbitrage them away
