Saving for School
Tools and savings products that will help ease the financial burden that goes hand-in-hand with a college or university degree:
Registered Education Savings Plans
Registered Education Savings Plans
If you have dreams of a higher education but aren’t sure how you’ll pay for all the expenses that go with it, you might want to consider starting an RESP. All you need to do is contribute a small amount each month. The power of compound interest combined with RESP-eligible government grants means that your education savings will grow faster.
Learn more about RESPs here or contact us for more information on how to get started.
Investment Accounts
Investment Accounts
Ask almost any adult what they’d do differently if they were given a ‘do-over’ and they’ll tell you that they’d start saving money when they were younger. While you might not like taking advice, this is actually a pretty solid recommendation. For example, if you invest $100 a month for 10 years, you’ll have more than $20,000 to show for it. If you were to invest $25 a month for 30 years, you’d get a payoff of about $52,000*.
It’s really not hard to do and we can help you get started with everything from a savings account to term deposits and mutual funds.

Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP)
Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP)
If you’re thinking about going back to school to get that degree or training you’ve always wanted, your RRSP investments can help you do it. The Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP), available through the Government of Canada, allows you to withdraw up to $10,000 in a calendar year from your RRSPs to pay for full-time training or education for you or your spouse or common-law partner.
If you’d like to know more about how to maximize your RRSP to help you reach your life or career goals, just contact us. We’re happy to help.
