Registered Retirement Savings Plan
How am I Going to Retire? Statistics suggest we will spend fewer years working than previous generations and that we anticipate longer, more active retirements. However, as retirement approaches you may rightly feel concerned about whether you have saved enough. Our team can help you save for retirement with the Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP). Contributions to RRSPs are tax deductible and money invested in the plan grows tax deferred. That means your money grows faster inside an RRSP than when invested in a non-RRSP account. To make sure you have a comfortable retirement, plan to take full advantage of the considerable benefits of RRSPs. If saving for retirement is your primary focus, a solid investment plan can make the difference between a comfortable retirement and one that is inadequately financed. Feel free to contact one of our team members if you have any questions regarding RRSPs. RRSPs - Did You Know…?
