Financial Planning: Love / Hate Relationships with RRSPs

Taivi Tayler • March 14, 2023

I love to love and I love to hate RRSPs, my name is Taivi Tayler and I am a practicing Certified Financial Planner & Wealth Manager and I work with people all over the Province of Ontario. 


I love RRSPs.


I love them because in your high-income earning years, (over $70,000 a year) they are a beautiful tool for reducing your taxable income. RRSPs are immensely important for those that are self-employed or those that don’t have access to a pension plan.


BUT, I also hate RRSPs.


You’re asking yourself why a wealth manager hates RRSPs. Ok, I only despise them when they become overstuffed. That is when they turn into unwieldly tax bombs that if not handled correctly become a tax gift, you heard me, a tax gift to the CRA. 

This is especially true for those that have over $500,000 invested in their RRSP account. You are heading for trouble!

Let’s talk about how to manage your RRSP and one day your RRIF, the right way.
