there's a lot you need to consider before you decide to buy or not to buy RRSP. both can work for you, depending on your situation.1 y2 y- b9 O' G" `, h% l

if you are nearing retirement and you have low income, there's really no point in making RRSP contributions. you will not make much investment returns and your government pension will be reduced based on how much you you have in RRSP. and because your income is low, you will not see much tax returns either./ B- N' c4 f4 c! k3 _

if you are young and have a long way to go before retiring, or if you are making good income, i would still suggest you to invest into RRSP. the main reasons are:5 l1 i, J0 |) ^$ y5 l2 z

1, you defer taxes until you start to withdraw. so therefore the tax you would be paying now is making investment returns for you over the term of investment. when you start to withdraw, you should be at a lower income bracket and consequently means you'll pay myuch less tax at the end.

2, it's true that if you have RRSP savings, the government pension will be less. but what you should know is government pension has never been that much money to begin with. the only thing government is going to do with the pension they pay you is to ensure you can survive and not die of starvation. the only way to not let government know that you have personal savings is to have all your savings in cash form, hidden from everything else. as soon as you put it in a bank, the interest you make will generate tax forms and right away the government will know how much money you've saved and they'll reduce your pension plans anyways.

* y: E. z7 {9 L0 x. q0 Q3, we're at the time of when the baby boomers are retiring and they're all looking for pension plans from the government to support their retirement. which really means the government is going to be really tight for money by the time we retire. who is going to know if the government will change their pension plan policy 10 years from now to reduce the pension payout? so really, the only way to ensure you have a good saving to support your retirement is to do it yourself. - o3 u- a, a" A.
