Protecting your Retirement Investments
CBABC proposes Registered Plan (Retirement Income) Exemption Act
As March 1 approaches, our thoughts naturally turn to RRSP contributions. Have we saved enough already? Should we top-up 2005? But a more important question might be: will our RRSP savings be secure? At CBABC, we are working to ensure they will be protected.
Healthy Lifestyle – Do You Enjoy One?
Do you regularly take time for yourself? Real time to do the things in life you enjoy doing, other than work? Until last fall, I was like the majority in our profession in that I usually came in last place on my own priority list. My work was more important. I worked long hours and often weekends. My family was more important. When I was not working, I spent my time trying to meet my family’s needs. I came in last.
