Create Distinct Plans for Future Education

Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) have been around since 1998, but haven’t taken off like wildfire, possibly because they’re a bit complex to understand. The short story is that you can dedicate resources to fund the cost of a child’s — or grandchild’s — post-secondary education. The amounts you invest don’t result in a tax deduction, but the money compounds without tax just like an RRSP. What makes RESPs attractive is the 20% (and sometimes higher) federal grant that is earned on the first $2,500 invested each year up to a maximum of $7,200 per child.
