Synopsis

"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 newset 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." --- Barry Schwartz, visiting professor at Haas School of Business, U.C. Berkeley and author of The Paradox of Choice. An indie B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree

Julie Grandstaff is a veteran of the financial services industry. In her career of more than twenty-five years, she managed a mutual fund and the fixed-income portfolio for a mid-sized insurance company, oversaw the investment selection for thousands of company retirement plans, developed a financial planning business, and managed the annuity business for that same insurer. She has a master's degree in finance and holds the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation.

She volunteers her time managing the finances for a small theater company and serving on the investment committee for a local university. When she's not simply enjoying the freedom of not having to work, she spends her time educating others on how to plan and save for their financial futures through her blog at www.juliegrandstaff.com, one-on-one, and in workshops. She and Jeff live in Portland, Oregon, with their daughter, Kaye.
