Registered Education Savings Plan

RESP or Registered Education Savings Plan is an essential program for saving for University and post-secondary school expenses.

I stopped and checked, and I have dedicated a lot of electronic ink on the subject of the Registered Education Savings Plan and specifically my “interactions” with TD and associated Universities over my daughters’ academic careers. While I used the TD Mutual funds, there are many other better ways to do this. For anyone planning on sending their children to a post-secondary school, the RESP is an essential financial tool.

This is free money folks, why you would not want to have it, is beyond me.
