Available @ NLB.

A big part of his success was, in his own words, "luck":

I just bought his book last week and started reading it yesterday. I'm reading chapter 1 and part of it covers about cars and how to think about it. He uses lots of personal stories and experiences. I'm gripped to this book as it serves as a reminder to the various theories I have read elsehwere.

Singapore context?

I may try to search for the book in the library to see if I can find it.

Yea, Singapore context, maybe with an Expat perspective. He's a Canadian teaching at an International School here from what I know.

OK thanks! Will check it out.

I notice there are not many good books written on personal finance in Singapore, especially touching on car (COE), CPF, Housing, Investments, Savings etc. There are a few books here and there but I find them rather simplistic (maybe it's just me?).

Thanks Drizzt, a good read indeed!

I've also reserved the book through the NLB system - apparently it's hot property and always out on loan. Costs $1.55 to reserve it and I hope to be able to grab my copy by early Dec.

Just got my reserved copy of "Millionaire Teacher", cost me $1.55 haha. At least the system is quite efficient though it means I have to go down personally to collect the book.

Will start reading it today and all through this week.
