PWL Capital 2021-03-26T16:36:12 March 26, 2021 For the 2018/2019 school year, average tuition costs and additional compulsory fees for Canadian undergraduate students were $7,741. Ontario had the highest fees with an average of $9,771 for the school year. According to a Macleans piece, that only covers 34% of average school costs. The other $13,000 or so is eaten up by living expenses. That begs the question, will savings in an RESP be sufficient to cover education costs in Canada? Starting Out Susan Daley RESP: What If My Child Doesn’t Go To Post-Secondary School? 2020-11-25T14:25:57 November 25, 2020 What happens to your RESP if your child doesn’t go to school? If you have an individual or family RESP, you can get your money out of the plan with relatively little pain. I outline the options to withdraw money from an RESP if the beneficiary of the RESP doesn’t attend post-secondary school. Personal Wealth Susan Daley Should I Borrow to Invest While Markets are Down? 2020-04-13T10:30:22 April 13, 2020 With stock markets down significantly across the globe as a result of the novel coronavirus in a matter of a month, it’s tempting to think stock markets are on sale and that you need to take advantage of that. Most don’t have large amounts of cash lying around, so borrowing to invest is one way to access that cash. Personal Wealth Susan Daley RESP Withdrawal Strategies 2020-01-29T11:38:35 January 29, 2020 You’ll know how withdrawals from RESP’s technically work if you watched my last video, but you want to limit the amount of taxes and penalties when making withdrawals. That’s where today’s video comes into play. Personal Wealth Susan Daley Withdrawing from your RESP 2019-08-22T16:50:41 August 22, 2019 In summary, you can pay student’s bills through two types of payments from an RESP. A withdrawal for post-secondary education (PSE) is a refund of the original contributions. There are no limits to the amounts that can be taken out of this bucket, and the amounts are tax free. Educational Assistance Payments (EAPs) come from the grant and accumulated earnings bucket within the RESP. There are certain limits to these payments to keep in mind, and the payments will be taxed in the student’s name. Waterloo Team IIROC AdvisorReport Testimonials Firstly, I want to say I am very pleased with Graham’s financial advice. Over the 7 years we have worked together, he has taken much time to listen carefully to my need to have my retirement funds safe and to the myriad work/life changes that came along. We have been working with Graham from early 2009, and joined him at PWL Capital in May 2010 . During this time Graham has acted as our financial adviser in the early years of our retirement, and has provided us with help and advice, giving growth and security within our portfolio, in excess of our RRIF withdrawal requirements. Graham Westmacott and Susan Daley provide the best service one could ever expect. They are extremely realistic and I perceive them as being most concerned with what is best for us and our situation rather than just focused on sales. Graham, more recently joined by Susan, has been our financial advisor since 2006 and we moved to PWL with him in 2010. Graham’s ability to analyze each client’s situation, preferences and needs seems outstanding to us.
