What is the point of having a TFSA?
A TFSA allows you to set money aside in eligible investments and watch those savings grow tax-free throughout your lifetime. Interest, dividends, and capital gains earned in a TFSA are tax-free for life. Your TFSA savings can be withdrawn from your account at any time, for any reason1, and all withdrawals are tax-free.
Can you lose money in a TFSA?
To summarize, yes, you can indeed lose money in your TFSA account. As long as the money you put in your TFSA was yours to begin with, you won't owe anyone money by losing money in your TFSA, but if your portfolio's overall return on investment is negative then you will have less money in your TFSA then you put in.
