RRSP Season is Here...So Why Save?
Every year around this time, you hear it; “Time to start thinking about your RRSP contribution!” And yet, according to TLC’s financial expert Gail Vaz-Oxlade, less than 30% of Canadians who filed tax returns contribute to their RRSPs. And overall, the savings rate of Canadians is negative – meaning we’re spending more than we’re making.

Here at Cambrian, we want you to have a positive financial future – one that will help you fulfill your life dreams. And that includes a healthy balance of good debt and savings. This RRSP season, we want to show you how RRSPs aren’t just a good idea for future retirement, but for your financial well-being now, as well.

Ms. Vaz-Oxlade offers these reasons to save on her website www.gailvazoxlade.com:

 
• Saving gives us a sense of security and mastery over our finances. As our savings grow - be they in a run-of-the-mill savings account or invested in equities - we can take pride in our sense of discipline and increased ability to weather a storm.

 
• The more we've accumulated in savings, the harder those savings work for us. It can be truly rewarding to see substantial sums of money generated solely by our savings.

 
• Saving takes us closer to our goals. It also creates a strong sense of independence by putting us squarely in a position of control. We have the resources to cover unexpected expenses without incurring debt at high rates of interest. We have the flexibility to take advantage of investment opportunities as they arise. We can change jobs, change homes, change countries without the sense of anxiety that comes from existing paycheque to paycheque.
