Tax Strategies for Everyone

Head over to 22min, I touched upon the tax-free benefits you can leverage with the CRA (for Canada) and IRS (for the U.S.).

1. Rethinking RRSPs and Tax Deferral: often promoted as tax savings vehicles, but in reality, RRSPs reduce your overall tax burden for that year but defers those taxes and the tax calculation to sometime in the future. High immigration, government spending, and likely future tax increases make RRSPs less attractive.
2. Government Incentives: While there are opportunities for optimizing your tax situation, it's essential to approach government incentives with caution. We discussed potential consequences such as energy audits and increased property taxes. You should be aware of the potential implications before disclose sensitive information.
3. Maximizing Tax Saving - Establishing a business can lower your taxes by writing off expenses and paying yourself a salary through a corporation.

Term vs. Whole Life Insurance Benefits

For anyone struggling to understand the difference between term and whole life insurance, it's like renting or owing a home. Term insurance is like renting: accessible and affordable in the short term, but it often becomes cost-prohibitive as you age. On the other hand, whole life insurance is like owning a home: an investment that can provide long-term benefits and accumulate cash value over time.

Term policy is easy to start with, but it's important to consider the potential consequences of canceling a term policy. As premiums increase over time, many policyholders find themselves without coverage when they need it the most. Additionally, term policy can become more expensive than whole life insurance over time due to inflation and other factors.

If you hold a term policy, it's possible to convert to whole life insurance without a medical exam, talk to me today.
