I heard that tid-bit in the news. I plan to take full advantage of it, I all ready do automatic monthly savings for future purchases and this will make that even better.

I heard about that too, and as soon as my bills are paid off, my bill money will be invested into one of those.

It is an excellent addition to putting your money into retirement vehicles such as RRSPs, I plan on continuing to put 15% into my RRSPs and maxing the $5000 per year because of the obvious tax free benefits when withdrawing, and that it can be withdrawn and replaced back in the account without a penalty.

Default good news

I have urged many friends not to get RRSP's and instead invest in something where they pay taxes now.It may help in the short run to buy RRSP's but what if you ever need a lump sum for home repairs and end up oweing thousands in taxes.which will be much higher than you'll be saving for tax time.JMO but this is great news.Clint
