Manage episode 358294419 series 2391871
The Canadian government just announced a new Tax-Free First Home Savings Account (FHSA), which will launch on April 1, 2023. This new account gives first-time home buyers the ability to save $40,000 tax-free to put towards their first home. But don’t we already have this program through RRSPs First Time Home Buyers Plan? And what about Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSA)? How do these savings vehicles differ? That’s the discussion on today’s podcast, with guest Ted Michalos. Doug and Ted also discuss what happens to money in these accounts when you file a consumer proposal or bankruptcy and whether you should first pay down debt or invest. Tune in for lots of practical advice!
