  2. What Is a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA)? A Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) is a registered savings account available in Canada that allows you to set aside money and grow it tax-free. Features include: Defined contribution limit each year (indexed to inflation) Contributions are not tax-deductible All growth and withdrawals are tax-free Flexible – use for any goal (retirement, down payment, etc.) Unused contribution room carries forward indefinitely

  3. Considerations before Opening a TFSA Financial goals: Align your TFSA contributions with your goals. It's ideal for long-term objectives like retirement or a down payment but consider other options for short-term needs like an emergency fund. Risk tolerance: Assess your comfort level with investment risks. TFSAs offer various investment options, allowing you to choose a risk level that suits your preferences. Tax situation: If you're in a high tax bracket, the tax-free benefits of TFSAs can be more valuable compared to someone in a lower bracket. Consider your expected tax situation in retirement as well.

  4. What Is a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)? A Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is another type of registered account in Canada, similar to a TFSA, but designed specifically for saving for retirement. Features include: Contributions are tax-deductible, reducing your taxable income Growth is tax-deferred (taxed upon withdrawal) Mandatory withdrawals begin at age 71 Can be used for a Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) or Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP)

  5. Things to Consider before Opening an RRSP Current income: Are you in a high tax bracket? If so, RRSP contributions offer immediate tax deductions, lowering your current tax bill. Expected retirement income: Will you likely be in a lower tax bracket in retirement? The tax benefit might be smaller if you pay less tax later. Consider both factors: Analyze your current and projected tax situations to weigh the long-term value of RRSP tax deductions.
