With the introduction of the tax free savings account, Canadians now have a golden opportunity to generate investment returns tax free.
Not Your Average Savings Account
The typical high interest savings account offers abysmal return rates when compared to investment returns available. Harnessing the power of a tax free savings account through smart investment choices could result in returns exponentially better than any high interest savings account. So how can you get the most benefit from your TFSA?
1. Set Realistic Goals
You cannot expect to reap large investment gains in a short time-frame using a TFSA as their are limits to how much you can contribute to you account in a single year. However, the hidden power is in the passing of time. By re-investing your investment gains, over time, you position yourself to be able to generate substantial returns.
2. Have A Robust Investment Game plan
This is probably the single hardest concept for individual investors to get right. With an overwhelming supply of financial information not only at your fingertips, but also being promoted across newspapers, the Internet and of course television, it’s no surprise that people don’t really have a solid game plan to build wealth. Giving up control of your investment decisions and investing in mutual funds is not the answer either. 2008 should make all investors rethink that approach.
