Four accounts, one big question: how do you decide where your money goes?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but a goal-first approach helps:
✔️ TFSA: Your flexible bucket. Growth is tax-free and withdrawals are easy, which makes it a strong fit for emergency savings and shorter-term goals.
✔️ FHSA: Built for first-time buyers. Contributions are tax-deductible and qualifying withdrawals for a home are tax-free (up to $8,000 a year, $40,000 lifetime).
✔️ RRSP: Ideal when you’re in a higher tax bracket today. Your refund can fuel your other savings goals, and the Home Buyers’ Plan may let you borrow from it for a down payment.
✔️ RESP: Saving for a child’s education? Government grants can boost what you put in.
Your timeline, income, and priorities determine the right mix. A licensed mortgage agent/broker, working alongside your financial advisor, can help your savings and your mortgage plan work together.
