| 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. |
| Here are some of the features and
benefits you should be considering: Flexibility of Payment Options,
Probate to Protection, 20% free Withdrawal, and more... A total of
11 alluring reasons to convert. |

| 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. |

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. |
| 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. |
