Tax-efficient RRSP withdrawal tips
– moneysense.ca
A: Last year, in my mid-50s, I was diagnosed with a serious ailment, which forced me to quit my job and start collecting long-term disability. Since I don’t have taxable income for this year, and most of my assets are in my RRSP, what would be the most tax-efficient way for me to withdraw money from my RRSP savings?
—R.J., Mississauga, Ont.
Q: Take out as little as you can, to extend the tax deferral as long as you can, says Dean Paley, Burlington, Ont.-based CPA. “If you are single, then you might want to withdraw $11,327—the basic personal tax amount.” You would have no tax payable at the end of the year. If you are married, this strategy doesn’t work because your spouse would have claimed the credit and drawing out from the RRSP means no tax is saved in the transaction. If this is the case, defer taking funds from the registered plans as long as possible. In looking at your retirement, you should also consider what you’ll get from CPP and OAS. You should also consider whether you may be able to re-enter the workforce down the road…

Few US neighbourhoods affordable, walkable with good schools
– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – Few neighbourhoods can match the perks of Adams Morgan in Washington, D.C. — a reality that reflects a broader problem for the U.S. housing market.
Residents of Adams Morgan enjoy a bevy of bars, restaurants, exercise studios and shopping, just steps from their row houses and condo buildings. Home values are reasonable relative to neighbourhood incomes. And in general, the area schools rate as better than average nationally.
Across the country, just 14 per cent of neighbourhoods manage to be at once affordably priced, walkable and near decent schools. And many of those neighbourhoods exist in only two cities: Washington and Seattle, according to a new analysis released Wednesday by the real estate brokerage Redfin.
The findings suggest a substantial mismatch between the neighbourhoods where people say they want to live and the homes actually available to them.
“Cities have not kept up with consumer tastes,” said Nela Richardson, Redfin’s chief economist…
