Your time is running out
Your time is running out if you turn 69 by the end of the current calendar year. You must close out your Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) by December 31 of the calendar year when you turn 69. This is because of changes in the law requiring that you collapse your RRSP in the year you turn 69. Previously, the age limit was 71. What alternatives do you have when you close out an RRSP? We've provided for you a list of possible options.

Potential benefits of maintaining a minimum monthly balance
Maintaining a minimum monthly balance can often waive the monthly fee associated with your services package. However, any cost savings should be compared to the returns or other opportunities you forego by keeping your money in your bank account (this concept is known as "opportunity cost"). For example, if you have a loan, it may be more cost effective to pay it down than to keep the funds in your bank account to save the monthly service fees.

For a limited time, you can get a special Real CashBack Investment Bonus on all GIC investments over 3 years - Click here or call for details. (905) 844-7700

Could you explain how an RRSP can be "carried forward", as stated in the article Women and RRSPs - Just Do It?
The term " RRSP carry forward" in the article refers to the unused RRSP contribution room that a tax filer has accumulated based on their filed tax returns since 1991. Each year that a tax filer does not contribute the maximum eligible amount to their RRSP, the unused portion is "carried forward" for use in future years. In some cases the amount of carry forward can be tens of thousands of dollars.

Metlife study reveals long-term financial impact for survivors due to spouse's premature death
A recent study by MetLife of widows and widowers reveals the long-term financial toll of the premature death of a spouse and highlights the need for greater consumer awareness about the necessity of adequately assessing personal life insurance needs. Among the major findings of the survey, participants indicated an average recovery period of four to five years before their financial circumstances returned to what they were at the time of their spouses' deaths.
