Save Yourself: Your Guide to Saving for Retirement and Building Financial Security

A B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree

Human beings are very imperfectly rational, especially when it comes to money and especially when it comes to planning for the future. In Save Yourself, financial planning professional Julie Grandstaff uses her years of experience to explain how savings work, to alert people to the money traps they might fall into, and to guide them to developing a new set of habits that gives their future the attention it deserves. The book is full of clear, detailed guidance that should help anyone move onto a path that gets their financial house in order.
