Your biggest advantage is time

Right now, the one big advantage you have is time. That’s because the sooner you get started, the more you can save. For example, see below how much of a difference 5 years could make when building your savings.

Look at how much more you’ll have when you start your savings plan 5 years earlier!

Save $100 a month starting at age 25, and you’ll save $195,315 by retirement time. That’s because the money you invest grows tax-deferred until you withdraw it.

Get a bigger tax refund

RSPs are also a great way to get a bigger tax refund. Say you make $40,000 a year, and you contributed $200/month to your RSP, you would save $661* in taxes. How sweet is that? Just think about all the great things you can do with the extra cash. You could go on a trip, pay off your debts or even reinvest the money in your RSP. Saving for the future has never been so rewarding.

Enjoy your first house with a little savings help

Not only is saving with an RSP rewarding, it’s also convenient for you as well. The Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) lets you withdraw up to $25,000 from RSPs for a new home purchase. And the amount you withdraw can be repaid within 15 years, subject to a minimum annual repayment that is 1/15 of the amount withdrawn.

Save for a better education

If you’re thinking about going back to school, the Lifelong Learning Plan allows you to withdraw up to $20,000 from your RSP to pay for eligible training or education for you, your spouse or your common-law partner. And once you withdraw the funds, you get 10 years to repay the withdrawals.

Build your savings with ease

Another great reason to invest in an RSP is how easy and effortless it really is. And you don’t have to contribute a large amount to start saving. For as little as $25, you can start saving for your goals. And by using automated payments you can set it and forget with ease.
