TFSA: Totally Financially-Smart Asset

No matter where you are in your education career, think of a TFSA (Tax-Free Savings Account) as one of the smartest ways to invest. Whether you’re looking for a bit of extra cash to ‘build your own gratuity’ (to add to your pension income during retirement), maximize the summer months, or finally take that 4-over-5, the sooner you get a TFSA with Educators working for you, the sooner you can make those financial dreams a reality. To take full advantage of the tax shelter, don’t invest your TFSA in just anything. Most banks may steer you into a super-safe savings plan or guaranteed investment certificates that offer very low interest, limiting your TFSA growth over time. For better growth potential, look to stocks or mutual funds.
