Andrew Hallam

I have a romantic idea. It isn't the red roses, candlelight dinner kind of thing (although that's a nice notion too).

Instead, I want to help people spend time with the people and passions they love. Sound corny? Bear with me for a moment.

Financial independence buys time. That's where my books and talks come in. I want to show people how to invest. The financial industry says, "Hey, let us help!" But few enter this industry to make the world a better place. Would Mother Teresa (or any of her friends) have worked for Goldman Sachs?

Instead, with few exceptions, it's an industry of vultures. So let me show you how to find the right kind of (rare) financial advisor, or invest on your own.

This will give you financial freedom. You'll be able to s
