It turns out that Rob Nettleton is pretty much just a really cool “everyman” – expect for the fact he managed to save a ton of money while doing stuff like being a student union president and travelling to Norway amongst other things.

If you told most professional investors that there was a way to get a tax-advantage automatic return of 20% on their money they would quickly jump on it and be hailed as some of the greatest investors on the planet for doing it.
If you have children in Canada you actually are being offered this deal every day. The Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) program is one of the best opportunities Canadians have to help their children out and yet so few take advantage of it.
