If you’re preparing to use your Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) for post‑secondary costs, understanding the different types of withdrawals is essential.

What seems like one pool of savings is viewed by the Canada Revenue Agency as three separate components, each treated differently for tax purposes. Knowing how they work can help you plan withdrawals in a way that maximizes funding and minimizes tax.

If you’d like support building a withdrawal strategy, I’m here to help.

When you’re building a life together, aligning on money can be an important part of the journey.

Some conversations couples often postpone, but shouldn’t:

• What are our individual and shared financial goals?
• Do we combine accounts, keep them separate, or use both?
• How will we handle debt or big purchases?
• What does “fair” look like when it comes to budgeting?

Financial planning isn’t just about paying for the wedding. It’s about aligning your money with the life you’re building and avoiding surprises down the road.

👉 I’m here to help guide these conversations and support you as you begin this next chapter — together.

For many families, the cottage represents decades of memories, traditions, and time together. It often feels natural to assume that passing it down is as simple as naming children in a will. But when it comes to cottages, the reality is more complex.

In Canada, a cottage is generally taxed as if it were sold at fair market value upon death. If the property has grown significantly in value over time, the resulting capital gains tax can be substantial. Without planning, heirs may be required to come up with a large sum of money before they can keep the property, sometimes leaving selling the cottage as the only option.

There are planning strategies that can help families prepare for this transition and reduce pressure on heirs. These approaches take time, coordination, and thoughtful conversations, but they can make the difference between preserving a family legacy and losing it.

Let's discuss which strategy makes sense for your family's situation.

Getting married or becoming common law isn’t just a personal milestone, it’s a financial one, too.

A few important money to-dos that couples often overlook:

✅ Review beneficiaries and update important documents
✅ Decide how you’ll organize accounts and manage day to day money
✅ Talk through short-term priorities and longer-term goals
✅ Understand how marriage or common law status may affect taxes and benefits

You don’t need to have every answer right away. What matters is starting the conversation and having a plan that can evolve as your life changes.

As your Edward Jones financial advisor, I can help you work through these next steps and build a plan that reflects both partners.
