Not Enough Hours?
Raising a family is a full time job, add a full time job to it and you are likely pressed for time. By the time the kids are off to school and activities, the groceries are bought and the household chores are done there is not a lot of time left at the end of the week to start looking at personal finances.
That is where an advisor can help. Let me work with you to get you the most relevant and pertinent information for your family into your hands so that you can make the decisions. Working with an advisor who will sift through and the nitty gritty and narrow it down to bite sized pieces will free up your time to do the things you love.
Saving for your kids education
Savings for your child or grandchild's education is best started right away. While the baby in your arms may just be looking for his or her next feeding, you won't believe how fast it goes... a few minutes from now they will be applying for college or university.
There are a few different ways to save for post secondary education, including RESPs, formal and informal trust accounts and TFSAs to name a few.
Changes introduced in 1998 made the Registered Education Savings Plan increasingly popular by adding grants worth up to 20% of your deposits when used toward post secondary education (conditions apply).
