These days many of us avoid having to go to the bank. The pressure to be sold products and services we really don't want or need is simply too much to handle at times. But if you absolutely must make that venture, here are some ways to avoid the 'big bank' upsell. And if you're ever in doubt over something a bank insists you need, try talking to an independent financial advisor who has no vested interested in the banks! http://ow.ly/2Y1h30a9s3E

A reminder to top-up your Tax-Free Savings Account before year-end! The maximum to-date a person can hold without penalties is $46,500 ($93,000 per couple). Any gains and withdrawals are tax-free. Here are some details on calculations, maximums and over-contributions: http://www.advisor.ca//how-to-fix-tfsa-overcontributions-2

Interesting article which talks about how even among those in their 50s or older, a disturbing 47 per cent are still less than a quarter of the way to their retirement savings. The earlier you start saving, the better so you can capitalize on the power of compound interest. Pay yourself first! http://business.financialpost.com//nearly-half-of-canadian

http://business.financialpost.com//why-your-investment-por "It has often been said that even great investment managers are wrong 40 per cent of the time. Interestingly enough, over the past 50 years, the World Series champions have lost 41 per cent of all the games they played." Even $50 or $100/mth - something is better than nothing and the earlier the better!

As you may have heard, the government has made changes to the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) program. The announcement states that 9 out of 10 families will receive a higher payment under the new plan. This is not always the case as it is now income tested based on overall family income. The new benefit will no longer be taxed and remains the best avenue for building an educational savings plan for our children. The savings strategy is simple, use the monthly benefit and invest it a RESP (Registered Educational Savings Plan). The government will further contribute 20% in grants up to a maximum of $500/yr to a RESP. Use the following CRA link to see how the changes will impact your family http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/bnfts/clcltr/cfbc-eng.html. Feel free to contact us for more information. Happy Canada Day everyone!
