Why a long-term car loan is a bad idea
– moneysense.ca
OTTAWA – Buying a new car is an expensive proposition that for many Canadians means borrowing money.
But financial experts caution shoppers not to be lured into spending more than they can afford through long-term auto loans that offer lower monthly payments, but ultimately cost more.
Brigitte Goulard, deputy commissioner at the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, says consumers need to consider more than the monthly payment.
“One of the most common pitfalls we see are people just thinking about the type of car that they want,” she said.
Goulard say by extending the term of a car loan to seven or eight years, it will drop the monthly payment, but borrowers will pay more in interest.

7 simple differences between RRSPs and TFSAs
– moneysense.ca
Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) and Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) are the go-to products for Canadians who are serious about socking away some money for the future, whether it’s for retirement or for a big purchase, like a house. While the two products are similar in many ways, there are also a number of areas in which they are not. These differences may seem a little ‘duh’ for some, but laying out the obvious is a good start as you consider the more complicated question of which one is right for you—whether you’re just beginning to make the decision or if you’re rethinking your current strategy. Here are seven simple things that differentiate RRSPs from TFSAs.
1. How old they are
RRSPs have been around a lot longer than their tax-free cousin. The RRSP was introduced in 1957 by the Liberal government of Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent. Fifty-one years later in 2008, the Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper rolled out the Tax-Free Savings Account…
