Rob Carrick

Rob Carrick

Canada’s Trusted Personal Finance Explainer-in-Chief

With his decades of experience covering all things related to money, Rob Carrick is Canada’s trusted personal finance explainer-in-chief. Rob was The Globe and Mail’s personal finance columnist for 27 years, then began a new career phase as a speaker, writer and consultant specializing in personal finance strategy.
Rob in his career has seen a lot – multiple bull markets for stocks, a couple of recessions and stock market crashes, one global financial crisis, a pandemic, a trade war, the incredible rise of the housing market, soaring personal debt loads, roaring inflation and an ever-present worry that Canadians aren’t saving enough for retirement.
Rob brings a fresh analytical take to his work that applies economics, demographics and social trends. He prides himself on his ability to make people say after reading his work or hearing him speak: “Now I understand.”
