In this episode, listen to how to save for your child's education using a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP).
I talk about how to set up an RESP, what happens when you deposit money, what does the (federal) government grant look like, what are the tax implications of your deposits. I also talk about investment considerations, when joint ownership of the account makes sense and when it doesn't and the planning considerations that I talk to clients about as they are making deposits to their RESP.
