Welcome to Rule72.ca
This site features a number of financial tools we hope you will find useful and entertaining. If you are wondering about our name, it refers to a quick rule of thumb for determining the growth of an investment. For more details, please check out Rule of 72.
Our initial construction of this site is now complete (we hope). Of course we have plans to add much more in the upcoming months.
So, what else can you find here? Every body wants to see their savings grow. To get an idea of the effects of interest rates (and especially compound interest) check out our investing page. To select the best mortgage (or any loan) for you, see our mortgage page. Got credit cards? See why you need to pay them off as soon as possible here. Life Insurance is the foundation of your "financial house". Check out our new insurance section. Finally, what happens to your RRSP when you reach age 71? Find out here.
Our pages from our older site will open in a new window (except as noted below). Just close the window to return to this site. You can also navigate directly to a specific page by using the drop down "Site Map" list at the top right of each page. Note, however, that pages from our older site load into the same browser window as other pages using this method. Click on the "Back" button to return to this site.
As with any new enterprise, there are sure to be a few bugs, typos or other bothersome errors. Please accept our apologies as we attempt to root them out as soon as possible. If you have any problems, or just wish to comment on the site, please use the "Contact Us" link on the bottom of each page.
Finally, we urge you to read the disclaimer which we have included near the bottom of every page. While we believe the information on these pages is accurate, there is always the possibility for error. All calculations are approximations only (they should be very close, but your financial institution or financial adviser will undoubtedly have slightly different figures). You should always seek the assistance of a reputable financial adviser before making any sizable financial decisions. That said, please enjoy. And tell your friends.
