Beschreibungen

<b>Build your strongest-ever portfolio from anywhere in the world</b> <p><i>Millionaire Expat</i> is a handbook for smart investing, saving for retirement, and building wealth while overseas. As a follow-up to <i>The Global Expatriate's Guide to Investing</i>, this book provides savvy investment advice for everyone—no matter where you're from—to help you achieve your financial goals. Whether you're looking for safety, strong growth, or a mix of both, index funds are the answer. Low-risk and reliable, these are the investments you won't hear about from most advisors. Most advisors would rather earn whopping commissions than follow sound financial principles, but Warren Buffett and Nobel Prize winners agree that index funds are the best way to achieve market success—so who are you ready to trust with your financial future? <p>If you want a better advisor, this book will show you how to find one; if you'd rather go it alone, this book gives you index fund strategies to help you invest in the best products for <i>you</i>. <ul> <li>Learn how to invest for <i>both</i> safety and strong returns</li> <li>Discover just how much retirement will actually cost, and how much you should be saving every month</li> <li>Find out where to find a trustworthy advisor—or go it alone</li> <li>Take advantage of your offshore status to invest successfully and profitably</li> </ul> <p>Author Andrew Hallam was a high school teacher who built a million-dollar portfolio—on a teacher's salary. He knows how everyday people can achieve success in the market. In <i>Millionaire Expat</i>, he tailors his best advice to the unique needs of those living overseas to give you the targeted, real-world guidance you need.

<p><b>ANDREW HALLAM</b> is a personal finance columnist and former international high school teacher. He built a million-dollar investment portfolio on a teacher's salary. He is the author of the bestselling book, <i>Millionaire Teacher</i>, and writes a regular finance column for Canada's national paper, <i>The Globe and Mail</i>. A former columnist for <i>Canadian Business</i> magazine, he also writes a weekly column for the U.S.-based financial services company, Assetbuilder. Andrew is a regular on TV and radio, and his website, andrewhallam.com, has become a beacon for expatriate investors around the world.
<p>"Wise investment advice delivered with clarity and humor."</br> <b>—Burton G. Malkiel,</b> author of <i>A Random Walk Down Wall Street, 11th Edition</i> <p>Praise for <b>MILLIONAIRE EXPAT</b> <p>"<i>Millionaire Expa</i>t pulls the cover off a septic 'investment' industry overseas. Andrew Hallam brilliantly explains how armies of untrained financial salespeople service expats the way Bonnie and Clyde used to service banks. No responsible employer would let a new expatriate begin working without first handing them a copy of this important book."</br> <b>—Sonny Wadera,</b> <b>MBA,</b> financial security advisor, Kelson Financial <p>"I like to think of Andrew Hallam as the Johnny Appleseed of Index Investing. He travels the world, introducing his fellow expats to the humble miracle of low-cost investing. That same investing is the best path to a well-funded and independent future. If he comes your way, make every effort to meet him. Listen carefully. Whether you meet him or not, read this book. First, you can use it as a shield against blood-sucking sales people. They will gladly drain the return on your savings to line their pockets. They will happily deprive you of a well-funded future. But there is a more important use for <i>Millionaire Expat</i>: It will be your detailed road map. It tells you exactly how to save and invest for your future while living in the growing tribe of expats."</br> <b>—Scott Burns,</b> U.S. syndicated finance columnist <p>"Andrew's book is about dismantling myths, making complex things easy and answering those questions one would have always liked to ask…but didn't dare. Based on a thorough analysis, tons of data and evidence, Andrew provides the easiest formula for financial planning: a clear set of very simple do's…and an even simpler set of don'ts. Follow these rules. It is simple. It is easy. It is rewarding right from the start."</br> <b>—Alberto Pamias,</b> Director, Delta Partners Group <p>"In <i>Millionaire Expat</i>, Andrew Hallam removes the complicated jargon of investing, helping readers understand the importance of sound, proven retirement strategies. With nearly two decades of living and working internationally, Andrew teaches readers how to avoid the financial sharks preying on unsuspecting expats. Regardless of whether you're new to the international scene or a veteran, whether you live in Chincha, Peru or Sim Reap, Cambodia (the world's two furthest cities apart), this book is an indispensable guide to investing and retiring well."</br> <b>—Jeff Devens, PhD,</b> International School Psychologist and author of <i>A Parent's Guide to Raising Kids Overseas</i>
