Millionaire Expat: How To Build Wealth Living Overseas

I bought the Kindle version purely for ease, weight and instant download. However, I'm likely to also buy the paper copy at some later stage as I like to have the actual book in my hand and for my shelf. From starting to read, the floodgates of insight opened with information and in layman's terms. It's easy to understand, especially if your not a pro with numbers, as in my case. I'm still reading but haven't been able to put it down, even reading until midnight on a work night and I start work at 7am ! It's a no nonsense book which cuts to the chase and gives many real life examples and scenarios. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is interested in saving for their future in the market of ETF's. I wish I'd had this in my hand a few years earlier. It's full of practical information, tables of figures which are easily understandable and lots of further reading recommendations from other sources. Andrew Hallam really has put the work in on this book and it would make the most sense to me for everyone to have a copy of one of his books on their bookshelf. After all, we all need to save costs and save for our pensions, if nothing else. This book would also make a great gift and should be issued as 'standard' for anyone considering an Expat life. I'm so glad I searched for it. I can now put into practice the advice Andrew gives, knowing I'm not just delving in to ETF stocks blindfolded. Happy reading - I hope it brings as much clarity as it's bringing me.

Thoroughly loved it, it is truely a masterpiece , lots of knowledge of stocks and investment tactics. One of the best fiancé book I had read after Rich dad and poor dad.

I bought this second edition as a follow up to the first one. I am an ordinary expat...lost in a sea of 'how will I manage when I finish working in the Middle East'....'how will I get a pension'...'how do I invest ' etc etc. This book is as brilliant as the first....and it does work. I am proof of that..because three years ago I followed the advice in the first book and built up a great portfolio myself..low fees and balanced....and I have such peace of mind. I am 49 now and am so grateful to have found Andrew's books and blogs! I'd like more for the South African expat...but in the end the principles are all the same. You will not regret buying this book and never let anyone put you off investing in the way he describes irrespective of your age. Just follow what is suitable for your age. You also do not have to earn wads of money to start investing. When I compare what I have done and the fees to what the 'big, professional' companies offer I am so happy I went this route. The book is an investment in yourself, your future and your peace of mind.

Fantastic book to explain what we should be thinking about, how we can save and some of the pitfalls and dodgy products for sale to expats, particularly in less well developed / regulated markets. Definitely worth a read if you are an expat as it will really make you aware of what you should be thinking about. Also well worth going to one of Andrew's seminars if you get the opportunity.

This book was much easier to read than I expected, and is incredibly helpful for giving specific advice on how best to make investments and save for retirement, as well as giving a broader understanding of economics and stock markets. Would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone with money to invest, and particularly to expats living outside their home country.

I have read a few personal finance books and have been reading about the “FIRE” (Financial Independence Retire Early) for a while now. This book manages to sum up all the best financial advise even if you were retiring in your own country most of this I had read before in other books, but the author is able to add bits and make even this interesting. But this book also adds how to do it as an expat. It is a work of genius. The best personal finance book, I have read.

Contains certain useful bits of information marred with a lot of repetitiveness. If you understand the basics of investing and in particular passive investing, a lot of this is rendered redundant. I also dislike how it's often completely impossible to discern the content of a section from its stupidly kitschy title, rendering the table of contents a lot less useful than it could have been. Again, this is from the perspective of someone who has already been at least half way around the block, read Jack Bogle's "Little Book", and don't need to be told another dozen times that "buy and hold broad diversified indices" is a good idea. Still, it wasn't a complete waste: the model portfolios provide some good starting points, and the discussion of swap-based ETFs and the US federal estate tax on non US persons told me things I didn't know and wouldn't have thought to investigate.

Very detailed and makes a lot of sense Some of the anecdotes are reprove so can be skim read Recommended

Wish I had read this book a few years earlier! Superb guide to make our hard earned funds steadily grow and to keep the unscrupulous so-called-fund managers at bay!

Andrew comes highly recommended for his books and many articles and videos!! I have been investing for about 25 years but after reading his books, Millionaire Expat and Millionaire Teacher, articles and watching some informative videos it was like a lightbulb coming on. He has changed the way I think about investing and appreciate his hard work and dedication to the subject. I can now say I am way better prepared for my retirement than I was a few months ago. Thank you Andrew!!

Thanks to Andrew I started investing for my retirement. Highly recommended to educate yourself in this complicated topic about easy investing and retirement plans.

Même si le livre est avant tout destiné aux expatriés, je trouve que même ceux qui vivent dans leur pays devraient avoir un plan de retraite. En effet on ne sait pas de quoi l’avenir sera fait et il est important de ne pas être dépendant de son gouvernement. A travers ce livre vous apprendrez à vous constituez un portefeuille de qualité et équilibré.

The guy who wrote this book was a teacher in Singapore and also wrote a book on financial planning for teachers. This book expands the net to all expats. He lists the issues with listening to/trusting financial advisers and provides a good rough guide to how to look at investing and planning for retirement. Of particular interest are chapters directed to people from specific countries (e.g. US, UK, AU, CA etc), which are useful at highlighting specific issues that apply to people from each country. All in all, a good read for those staring to think about financial planning for themselves.
