Yesterday I gave a pitch to the Howard County Public Schools Academy of Finance board, of which I am a member, for Andrew Hallam's book Millionaire Teacher.  The book is highly recommended for anyone interested in learning the appropriate way to invest for the longer term and how a person of modest salary can attain a sizeable nest egg.  Andrew's humor and talent for explaining complex topics make the book extremely readable and, a rarity for this genre, highly entertaining.

The basic message in the book, for young people to start investing early, diversifying, and paying attention to costs, is lost on many as evidenced by the report described by Shawn at Watson Inc in his post "Young People Avoiding Investing in Record Numbers."

The Wells Fargo report Shawn reported on found that those in their 20s prefer CDs rather than investing in stocks.

The customer reviews of Millionaire Teacher speak for themselves.  Andrew's book is a giant step in the right direction for attaining financial literacy.

Full disclosure:  RW Investment Strategies is mentioned in the book.
