WHAT A LEARNED ABOUT RESPs #RESPwithRBC

On September 17, 2015, I attended a twitter party about RESPs where I could ask any question I wanted and get them answered by RBC. 

The questions I have always had was what if my child chooses not to go to post secondary education and I have invested in RESPs for them. This question was asked by many and did you know that the RESP remains open for 36 years  - you could transfer it to a sibling but for us our youngest is the only one who hasn't been to university yet so transferring it to a sibling is not an option but I was pleased to discover that at the time of cancellation you can roll it over to a RRSP. 



Check out the image above and see how quickly $25 a week can grow for your child. To learn more visit: http://www.rbcroyalbank.com/save-regularly/resp.html


I live in a area where many families are struggling to make ends meet and there is no way they contribute on a weekly basis to a RESP for their child. Did you know some low income families may qualify for up to an additional $2,000 without ever having to contribute. 

I am all for staying on budget when it comes to money matters but knowing I have the security of helping my child attain their dreams in life just warms my heart. Don't forget that they government will give you 20% of your contribution up to a maximum of $1000. Yes you read that right they are wiling to give you free money to help your child do their post secondary education.
