This year consider an investment in your future as a gift to your future self. One day you will look back on your decision to put away some money, and thank your younger self for the foresight to save.

With the festive season behind us, we turn our attention to planning for the next 12 months and beyond. This is a great time to reassess where you are in your journey to financial well-being. One of the key components to this is when we take our steps into eventual retirement and what will that look like for us.

As the end of the tax year approaches, there’s no time like the present to use the remaining weeks to February 29 to review contributions to retirement investments and also tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs) to make the most of the tax benefits these investments offer.
