Can you move income back and forth between spouses? Aug 22nd
Ask MoneySense

Are you missing out on RRSP matching and more?
– moneysense.ca
A registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) is a powerful retirement savings tool, yet many Canadians aren’t getting its full benefits. A lot of us are also missing out on RRSP matching and other incentives—essentially, free money—that could go a long way to funding a more comfortable retirement. That’s what finance professionals call “leaving money on the table.”
One such bonus, available for a limited time, is Wealthsimple’s biggest-ever RRSP matching offer. Through the “Big Winter Bundle Promotion,” new and existing customers receive a 2% match on qualifying RRSP transfers of at least $15,000. Plus, just in time for your next snow day, you can earn up to five Canadian Lift Passes, valid on more than 50 mountains across the country.
Not grabbing RRSP promotions like these would be leaving money on the table, much like:
Not returning your empties to the beer store to get your deposit back.
Forgetting to use that gift card your sister gave you for your birthday…
