Registered Education Savings Plan
ABCs of RESP Investing
Every parent - or uncle or aunt or grandma or grandpa or brother or sister or friend and supporter of Canada's youth and education - should open an RESP for the student(s) of their choice. This way the student receives valuable federal (also provincial in some cases) matching grants, and gets to tax-shelter investment income. Most importantly the student will not be held back for years and years after college or university by costly student loans. As Canadians we must do all we can to educate our youth and move heaven and earth to make sure our future citizens and leaders are not burdened with unmanageable student loans at the very time they should be spreading their wings with their new education and talent. Good RESP plans for our Canadian youth are vital, and are an honour to contribute to.
