Link Aggregator - Best of the Best

Forbes.com Best of the Web

Forbes magazine, eh? Isn't that for wealthy, money managers and greedy businessmen? Yeah, maybe. But their collection of links is excellent!

There is a vast difference between having lots and lots of links, and having a collection of well organized links to the best sites in every category. The folks at Forbes have really done their homework. This site links to the best of the best.

Their categories are:
Blogs
Collecting
Education
Health
Investing
Look It Up
Luxe Shopping
Management
Personal Finance and Careers
The Good Life
Travel


Ok, so maybe I could live without the Luxe Shopping category, but the rest seem to be really good collections of links. Each category, breaks down further into subcategories. Even though the categories seem so simple, they claim to have included over 3,000 sites, which qualify because of Content, Design, Speed, Navigation and Customization. Wow!!!

Aggregators like this are great for link scavengers like me. I might be able to get a whole week’s worth of really good links off of this one website. Now, if Christopher Walks only had the time to check them all out, Christopher Walks might be able to put more links up on the Linkjockey website.

If you have suggestions for the Linkjockey, please email them to me.

Top sites for RRSPs!

February is prime investing time in Canada. The deadline for making contributions to Registered Retired Savings Plans (RRSPs) is March 1st. These contributions are tax deductible, and a great way to save for retirement.

Here are some links that might help you explore the numerous options out there.

A great place to start is About.com's website which has lots of links that lead to reputable, unbiased sites that discuss the basics of RRSPs, the tax laws, the current rates, and your RRSP limit.

If you decide to go the Mutual Fund route, track the past performance of mutual funds at Globe Funds.

Personally, I'm a big fan of Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) through Ethical Funds.
