Parents believe that, on average, their RESP will be worth almost $28,500 when their children need it, a recent RBC survey revealed. But, as most parents start RESPs when their child is 2 years old, their RESP will typically be worth $22,500 by the time their child is 17 — a shortfall of $8,000.
Is it worth it to have an RESP?
So while RRSPs are great for retirement, when you know you’ll be in a lower tax bracket, and TFSAs are great for savings goals, since the money you withdraw isn’t subjected to taxes, RESPs are great resources for young people starting off in their education and their financial journey.
Which is better TFSA or RESP?
TFSA – which one to choose? If you’re saving money specifically for a child’s education, an RESP is almost always the best choice. It allows you to earn grant money that’s not otherwise available, and it allows you to defer taxes on any money earned in the account.
