Teaching your children about money

When a child starts to receive or earn their own money through an allowance, family gifts or a part-time job, their natural instinct is to spend it all. However, it’s never too early to start teaching children the importance of savings, and to respect the fact that money can also serve other goals, like sharing it to help others.

Commentary

If you want to maximize the deferred tax growth, contribute earlier in the year rather than at the end of the year.

RESP lifetime contribution limit per beneficiary is $50,000 total. Beginning in 2009, individuals residing in Canada who are 18 years of age and older, can contribute up to $5,000 per year to a TFSA where the holdings grow and earn income tax-free. The annual TFSA dollar limit for the year 2023 is $6,500.TFSA accumulated maximum amount since 2009 to 2023 is $88,000.  Please feel free to ask us about more details!

RIF legislation passed. New age limit is 71 years to convert RSP into RIF. We will inform our clients at age 69 and it will be their choice whether they want to convert at 69 or wait. Waiting means deferring taxes longer.
