The other thing to consider is your expected retirement income. If your tax bracket will not be going down in retirement a TFSA makes a lot of sense.

Yup, your retirement income and tax braket makes a huge difference. Then there's the pension amount, the size of your RRIF, when you want to draw your RRIF or TFSA. People say your biggest purchase in your life is a house. Nope, it's your retirement. You can sell your house but your retirement requires years of planning and generally, you can't go back. Listen to good advice but always be aware of your future needs. Siri and Alexa can't help you. Channels like this can.

Completely agree and I have both but as I get closer to retirement, tax free income from a TFSA is super important for most people. Depending on your income, and lets face it, most Canadians have a much lower income in retirement, It could be the difference between qualifying for different programs such as GIS, for example. Grants for home updates etc. are also income tested. You could technically draw a 50k salary from your TFSA (yes, unlikely) and still qualify for full GIS and other programs. All that said, for a higher income worker, I like the idea of RSP contributions with the refund rolled into a TFSA. Its crucial that as part of your retirement plan, that the refund be rolled back into that plan and not spent on other frivolous things

I stick with the TFSA and cashed out of the RRSP and invested it else where. Didn't like getting hit when the money was needed and moved. It's not a comfortable thing to go through. We want to move away from these hits the Government makes and just let our money grow and getting rid of the RRSP was, in my opinion, breaking away from Government Control, in that area and gives me more control and flexibility with my money.

I hear you. I do love the tax deductions from RRSPs but I really don’t like how it limits options.

New sub here. Ive been catching up and watching all your videos. Really great info. Thank you! For this one, If one can max both accounts, whats the best type of stocks or ETFs for each?

@wellbuiltwealth Жыл бұрын

And thank you! I’m a huge fan of ultra diversified ETF portfolios. Keeps the cost down, keeps it simple, and eliminates human error. I’ll be doing a vid on that shortly :)

Very interesting videos! From what you say here, what i understand, for people having a high income tax % and are staying in Canada (ex. Quebec) for just some years, the best would be to do RRSP if they will be capable to leave the country at the beggining of a year ( when your income has not been much)?

@wellbuiltwealth Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I’m not entirely sure what you mean by timing withdrawals for when you leave Canada, but you are definitely on the right track. The higher your tax bracket the more appealing RRSPs are because the tax deductions get larger. And when you have very low or no income years, it’s a great time to pull money out of your RRSP as the tax hit will be little to nothing.

I think i would do RRSP and the money or refunded amount will he invested to TFSA..

@colinmagee5155 5 ай бұрын

Interesting video. Have an RRSP and TFSA for retirement but a different for shorter term goals like renos, vacations, etc. Don't see this aspect of using a TFSA covered much. You covered contributing to RRSP and reinvesting tax return into RRSP but what about strategy I use? Contribute to RRSP and contribute tax return to TFSA. Seems to me to be the better option but curious on if you thing that is true. Good videos and info. Cheers

Thank you! And depending on your situation, your idea could be an excellent idea. I think 90% of the battle is making sure you use the tax deductions wisely.

Oh I have Subscribed. Would you advise a client to invest the RRSP tax refund into a TFSA instead of investing the refund back into the RRSP.?

I think financial experts such as yourself, need to focus more time on these videos on reinvesting tax refund vs spending it if investing in RRSP. The vast majority of clients get that tax refund and spend it. Regardless of income level, if you do that RRSP is by far the worst option to invest in!!

Yes…but even more time. I still don’t think people understand that even based on the small amount of time you spent on it… but great advice!!
