    Hey guys! If I'm saving aprox 60% of my income while I live at home still how much do you recommend for high interest savings vs rrsp per month? Should I split it 50/50? My understanding is basically RRSP is money I will never be withdrawing vs a high interest savings account I can use as my main savings account where I can withdraw if needed for larger purchases?

    RRSP is for retirement, so it is a long term investment. However, you also withdraw RRSP funds if your buying a home (I believe you can with draw without penalty). If you are withdrawing for any other reason, you will be penalized. So it depends...how long do you plan to save your money for in an RRSP and why? What’s the end goal? If it’s a short term investment, I would not recommend an RRSP. I am NOT a financial advisor, however, I love researching and educating myself about money.

    Hi Lovepreet! An RRSP from an account perspective is quite similar to your normal bank account. This means that once you open it up, you can transfer cash into it and hold it there (which would do nothing for you given that the money will not grow it will just sit there). Now when it comes to buying investments - depending on which platform you use (your Bank, Questrade, Wealthsimple, etc.) - you have the option of buying for example a stock, using the money in your newly opened TFSA, RRSP, etc. Depending on which account you purchase this stock with, this will dictate which account your stock will be held in. Meaning if you buy it using a RRSP, you’ll be able to reap all the benefits we mentioned, but you’ll also have to consider some of the downsides. We hope that makes sense! 😊

    you have to look at your taxes when you set money away.

  • @kurtisf3366

    @kurtisf3366

    Not quite. An RRSP is really about managing tax brackets and also about taking advantage of compounding interest. For example, suppose you make $105,000/year which puts you into the third tax bracket of 26% federal tax (I’ll ignore provincial taxes for simplicity). If you put $7,000 into RRSP, you drop your taxable income down to $98,000, dropping yourself down a tax bracket to 20.5% and owing $7,210 less income tax. Let’s say it’s a perfect world and you get this amount back as a tax refund, now you can reinvest it into a TFSA for tax free growth, or back into RRSP to drop next year’s tax bracket. Now move into the future at retirement. The goal here is to withdraw that money at an even lower tax bracket, or at the very least the same tax bracket. You do NOT want to go pulling out $200,000 all at once and land yourself paying way more tax than you would have if you’d never used the RRSP to begin with. If you can manage to pull it out at a lower bracket than you should have been when you earned it, then you are ahead of the game. In our example that would mean pulling it out in the second (20.5%) tax bracket or lower. This is managed by knowing your income sources and not pulling too much out at a time. Having TFSAs to withdraw from in retirement will really help to manage that as that money will be tax free. As a final point, the whole RRSP system only benefits you if you are investing those tax refunds, and if you are above the lowest tax bracket. If you have a lower income or are maybe running a business and have a lot of deductions that drop your tax bracket really low then you can use RRSPs to get a tax refund today, but it’s almost like debt because you will have to pay tomorrow.
