50 and older, I’m sorry, but in my personal experience, your advice has been a little out of date.

    Yup.

    The Canadian equivalent is a TFSA, unless you max it out (congrats), then RRSP. Apparently there’s niche cases where RRSP is better, so look into it a bit.

      RRSP contributions are income tax deductible, and up to $60k from the account can be used toward a down payment for a home. For someone trying to buy, its a good idea to focus on that RRSP first.

          Yup, and it’s good if you start using it early. I’m not a fan of the reatrictions on it though, compared to the RRSP. But they are strong when used together.
