February 2015

Reminder: RRSP Deadline for 2014 is Monday March 2, 2015.

 

Have you made your RRSP contribution?  Call us to ensure you make the right amount for your situation and income.  We can help.

 

Quick Tip:  RRSP Season is upon us!  Are you doing everything that you can to maximize your retirement savings?  By increasing your savings every year by inflation or salary increase, you will save substantially more in retirement than just sticking to the same game plan. 

 

In fact, if you saved an extra $50/each month, and increased it by 2% every year for 40 years.  (25-65), you would have an additional $100,000 saved for retirement  (at 5% rate of return). Who says small amounts can't make a difference?

  

RRSP Contribution Limits: 2014 Limit: $24,270
2015 RRSP Limit: $24,930, or 18% of prior year's income.

  

If you would like to schedule a meeting with Janine regarding RRSPs, Financial Planning, Insurance and Retirement, please give us a call and we will gladly accommodate.
