In The Moolala Guide to Rockin' Your RRSP, bestselling author, television host, and popular speaker Bruce Sellery makes retirement relevant to your life today, even though it may be decades before you leave your career behind. He provides a simple plan to help you rock your RRSP immediately, and most importantly, he inspires you to get off your duff and take action.
This book takes you through five painless steps and combines interactive exercises, personal stories from people like you, and great practical advice to help you get a handle on your retirement savings. It is written specifically for those of us who could use a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. Inspiring, insightful, and fun, The Moolala Guide to Rockin' Your RRSP will transform the way you think about your money - and your retirement.

I love Bruce Sellery and the way he frames the concept of personal finance and spending. This book, his second, specifically looks at RRSP's - what they are, why you need them, how much you'll need in retirement, the reasons why you should save and invest now, and planning.
Similar to Moolala: Why Smart People Do Dumb Things with Their Money - and What You Can Do About It, this book follows the same plan and overall trajectory. I would also recommend Moolala as one of the best personal finance books I've ever read.
This is an easy-to-read book, with great ideas, easily understandable concepts and a fun (and not condescending) tone. Highly recommended for those who are interested in RRSP's, those who may be retiring within 20 years, or even those who won't be retiring for decades. This is a great planning tool, and Bruce walks you through the activities he has included within the text with a deft hand.

This would be a good source of info for those that have not really done much about RRSPs and need a little direction. It was very easy to read and laid out in a very logical manner. Although this was more of a review for me it has motivated me to re-evaluate how much I might need to retire - which I hope will be soon!

First book that got me to seriously think about opening an RRSP. Hence 5 stars.
It also has a better focus than its predecessor because of its focus on RRSP. I think Bruce should write 2 more books with such focus, one on RESP and one on TFSA.

I loved the book not only because there's an autograph but also it's a guide everyone should read. Bruce predicted my bucket-list trip and it's right on the first page. For the rest of the pages he predicted that most are lost when it comes to RRSP.
That's why the book is written with so much humour. You can laugh but you cannot deny the importance of financial literacy and action.
I like how questionnaires are added in the book as well. It's the time to be honest to yourself. From there it will be easier to plan your retirement and digest all the other types of RRSP. (Can we have all?)
This book is added on my favourite personal finance collection. Now I must read Bruce's other book "Moolala" and see what else I've been missing.

A book that’s only about RRSPs would be shorter and (probably) boring. Bruce’s book is about much more. He asks a simple but powerful question: why are you saving for retirement? We need compelling reasons.
Bruce includes many quotes from real people. That's unusual and effective. The book feels interactive and engaging — a workshop, rather than a lecture. Bruce encourages you to write in the book, which makes it more like a workbook.

This seems to be heavily recycled from his previous book Why Smart People do Dumb Things With Their Money. I hoped for more specific insight into tax-free investing but got the same information again. It didn't even keep me occupied for a lunch hour, but if you haven't read the other book you might like this.

A good read
For those that are not that educated towards RRSP's, this is well worth reading. But, if you are already somewhat knowledgeable, I would pass this book up.
