Jim Carroll is hooked.
Information is empowering.
Looking at that, I can see, holy smokes, there's a big disparity in car loan rates. Sure, if you want to call 15 banks. The Internet also has plenty of information about personal finance basics, credit, buying a house, insurance, RRSPs and mutual funds. There's little available, however, on taxes, said Carroll. Carroll and co-author Rick Broadhead suggest starting with a Canadian site called RetireWeb, which offers lots of basic information about retirement and RRSPs.
