    ❤❤❤ my TFSA. I just applied to start my CPP in Jan 2024 when I turn 70. Covid allowed me to save 1/2 of my income for 3 years. (No Travel) Huge windfall. Happy I did all my travelling in the 1st 6 years of retirement. Who knew Covid was coming back in 2020. Live for today but plan to live till 100.

    Here's another way you can get dinged in your TFSA: i bought a Canadian stock on a Canadian exchange in my TFSA. Sometime later, the TFSA decided that the stock was no longer eligible to be held in a TFSA. The penalty: 50% of the original contribution. Pure and simple theft by the CRA.

    Many older adults can contribute $95,000.00 as a lump sum, so wouldn’t that mean that a lot of us wouldn’t have any penalty unless they surpassed that amount? Or, am I wrong?
