Description

This week I am focusing on TFSA's and clearing up some common misunderstandings to help you ensure you maximize the benefits you achieve from your investment portfolio.

One of the most common questions I get as a wealth advisor is: “Which type of retirement account should I put my money into…an RRSP, which is a Registered Retirement Savings Plan, or a TFSA, which is a Tax Free Savings Account?

Which one should you put your money into? Here's what you need to know to make the right decision for you:

1.    Realize a TFSA is an investment account, not a savings account. 

2.    Use your TFSA is for any windfalls you may receive

3.    Keep track of your contributions and withdrawals

4.    Understand the residency requirements

5.    Make your spouse a successor holder, not a beneficiary

How do your TFSA contributions compare to other Canadians your age?
