Listen "Ep.8 Case Conference: Choosing the Right Door"
Episode Synopsis
Today's Case Conference accompanies an episode in which we provide a detailed breakdown of the registered account types available to Canadian investors and how to utilize them. Despite their numerous potential advantages, however, there are still many people who avoid them, primarily because optimizing these can seem too complicated and overwhelming. Our hope is that today's episode will provide you with the confidence and knowledge you need to feel empowered to take the next steps in your investment journey. Tuning in, you'll hear several case studies that address common concerns, like how to avoid having a Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) that's too big and how to navigate your RRSP and tax-free savings account (TFSA) as a high-income earner. We also get into Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs), why group RESPs can be so predatory, how to plan your exit from a group RESP if you're already in one, and more. For relatable examples of how to use these accounts, plus the many benefits of diversifying them, listen in today!
