Saving for retirement

Planning for retirement isn't just about how much you save - it's also about where you save it. The types of investment account you choose can have a big impact on how your money grows, how much tax you pay, and how easily you can access your funds when time comes.

In Canada, there are several account options designed to help you save for retirement, each with its own tax advantages and rules. The most common are:

Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSP)

Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA)

Employer Pension Plans

Locked-In Retirement Accounts (LIRA)

Non-Registered Accounts

The choice of account type can play an important role depending your income level, employment situation, and retirement timeline.

The best retirement strategy often involves using a combination of these accounts to optimize tax efficiency and long-term growth.
