Here Chris shares a tip on how to get the most out of your money:

Can your Dollar Multi-task?

In financial planning, we talk a lot about efficiency and finding the best way to achieve your goals. One question that is good is this one:

“What’s the best thing to do with my money? Invest? Pay down the mortgage? Save for a rainy day? Save for the kids’ education?”

Guess what? This is not a ‘yes or no’ question. What if you could do a bit of all of it.

Say you are someone who makes $75,000/yr. And let’s say you do what you’re supposed to and you save 10% - $7,500. What’s the best way to increase your net worth with this $7,500?

Let’s say you put this in your RRSP. That means you would have $7500 invested plus $2925 in tax return.

Let’s say you put this into your Registered Education Savings Plan – it will hold $2500/yr and get matched at 20% or $500 in this case.

You still have $425. You could put this in your TFSA or pay down your mortgage – whatever you like. But here’s the tally of what net worth you have added with this strategy:

$7500+$2925+$500=$10,925

That’s a 46% first year rate of return if you want to think of it that way!

And just a sample of the types of ideas we come up with when you do a financial plan with us. Call us today to get the ball rolling.

Here Chris shares a great tip on how to maximize your RRSP:

RRSP season is around the corner! Let an RRSP account save you tax dollars this year, and provide steady growth for your retirement!

Registered retirement savings plans (RRSP) is a savings plan that allows you to save for the future on a tax-sheltered basis.

The first significant benefit of investing into an RRSP is the tax credit. The government creates incentives for households to save money for their retirement. So, your taxable income is reduced by the amount you contribute into an RRSP. (Up until a certain point).

The second benefit is that they allow an individual investor to defer their taxes into the future. Any growth on your investment (i.e.: interest dividends, capital gains) are not instantly taxable to you.

Paired with the tax benefits, other advantages of RRSP’s include: their availability to be used to buy your first home, through the Home Buyers Plan, they can be used to finance education, through the Lifelong Learning Plan which eliminates any taxable consequences on withdrawals.

One thing to keep in mind though is that an RRSP is a type of account – not an investment. It is up to you and the advice you receive to make sure it grows to its fullest potential.
