Mary and I are most grateful to “Freehold Living” for featuring a dream come true for me these last 45 years.

Confessions of a Former Wall Street Whiz Kid
“Confessions of a Former Wall Street Whiz Kid” is a thought-provoking, real-life story of the ups and downs and ups again of one of Wall Street’s “half-famous” financial geniuses, Peter Grandich. In this updated fourth and final edition of his witty and painfully-honest autobiography, Grandich shares his thoughts about the accumulation of wealth and the hidden flaws of traditional financial planning. He exposes some of the dirty business of Wall Street and takes readers on a journey through his battles against panic attacks, suicide attempts and depression, and he shares how his faith not only helped him regain the will to live, but acts as the foundation for his financial beliefs.

A Biblical Perspective on Matters of Finance
The Bible contains over 700 direct references about money, including the majority of the Parables, and one out of every six verses in the Gospels concerns itself with the right and wrong use of material possessions. It clearly states that spirituality goes hand-in-hand with matters of money. It teaches us that God is our only true provider and to honor Him by being good stewards with what He has given us. It teaches us that debt, in most cases, is not wise and that a prosperous life is not measured by what we have in the bank, but what is in our hearts. Read more.

Yet, many parents do not know how to teach their children a skill that will benefit them their entire lives: money management. When it comes to matters of money, think of it like any other basic skill that you teach your kids: like brushing their teeth, doing their homework or taking a vitamin. It is just as important.

I’m Telling You What Most Don’t Want To Hear And Wall Street Never Will Tell You, Too
As I’ve said for years, there are only two types that work in the financial services industry:
1 – Those who say what they think.
2 – Those who say what they think you want to hear and it sells.
The industry is full of the latter. I’m proud to be in the former. Read more.
Retirement And Aging Crisis – From Bad to Worse
For most of this millennium, I have been outspoken about the majority of American households living a lifestyle above what their finances truly can support (you must spend less then you make!). Increasing debt loads, and trying to keep up with the Joneses, have been a driving force towards a retirement and aging crisis, one that few in the financial services industry will even discuss because it is bad for business.
