'Not just a psychologist but a magician too' Alvin Hall has his own
rags-to-riches story. He grew up on in rural Florida but did well at
school and was the first person in his family to go to university. After
finishing his degree, he started working as a teacher. Excited about
earning a wage for the first time, Alvin quickly found it hard to
control his spending and he got into a lot of debt. But he didn't bury
his head in the sand. Instead, he developed a strategy to get himself
back on track, and once the debts were cleared, he never looked back -
he hasn't had a single money problem since!
Alvin Hall is an internationally renowned financial educator,

the BBC, he hosted the highly rated and award-winning series, Your
Money or Your Life, on which he offered both practical financial
and psychological advice to people about how to take control of and
fix their financial problems. Hall lives in New York City where he

services companies, banks, regulatory authorities, as well as
