If your child, like my own, is heading off to university this fall, it’s an exciting time. After years of contributing to their RESP, it’s finally time to start using it.

Before making that first withdrawal, there are a few things to know:

• RESP withdrawals aren’t all taxed the same way. EAPs, which include grants and investment earnings, are taxable to the student, while your original contributions can generally be withdrawn tax free.

• For a full time student, EAP withdrawals are generally limited to $8,000 during the first 13 consecutive weeks of enrolment. After that, additional EAPs can generally be withdrawn as needed, provided the student remains eligible.

• You’ll need proof of enrolment from the school.

• Don’t just think about first year tuition. Look at the entire degree and create a withdrawal strategy for the years ahead.

We’ve spent years building these accounts for our kids. Now it’s worth having a plan for how we take the money out.

If your child is starting post secondary school and you’re unsure how to structure the RESP withdrawals, feel free to reach out.

Looking at this photo of my mom with my youngest daughter reminds me how quickly the years go by.
As grandparents, many people want to help the next generation, but they’re often unsure of the best way to do it.
Should I contribute to a RESP?
Should I help with tuition?
Should I wait and leave an inheritance instead?
The answer is different for every family.
A thoughtful financial plan can help you understand how much you can comfortably give, while still ensuring your own retirement goals stay on track.
Helping your grandchildren isn’t just about money.
It’s about creating opportunities, building confidence, and leaving a legacy that lasts far beyond your lifetime.

One of the first questions divorced women ask me isn’t about investing.

It’s something much more personal.

“Am I going to be okay?”

Can I stay in my home?

Can I travel?

Can I help my children?

Can I retire one day?

Can I spend money without worrying I’ll run out?

These aren’t investment questions.

They’re life questions.

After a divorce, many women receive a settlement but have no idea what that money actually means for the rest of their lives.

How much can I safely spend each year?

Can I afford that vacation?

Should I help my children financially?

Will my money last if I live into my 90s?

These are the questions a retirement plan is designed to answer.

It’s not just about investing your settlement.

It’s about understanding how to turn it into a reliable income, reduce taxes where possible, and give you the confidence to enjoy your life without constantly wondering if you’ll run out of money.

If you’re navigating life after divorce and looking for clarity about your financial future, I’d be happy to help.

When your investment portfolio is diversified,

but your patio furniture consists of one lonely chair.

In all seriousness...

Summer has a way of slowing life down just enough to reflect on the things that matter.

When the pace finally eases, it’s often when the financial questions we’ve been putting off begin to surface.

• Am I actually on track for retirement?
• Will my money last?
• Am I paying more tax than I need to?
• Am I making the most of what I’ve worked so hard to save?
• Do I actually have a plan, or am I just hoping everything works out?

These are the conversations I have every day with Canadians who are within 10 years of retirement, or already retired.

Many have done an incredible job saving over their lifetime, but they’re looking for clarity on how to turn those savings into a retirement they can truly enjoy.

Because retirement isn’t just about growing your investments.

It’s about creating a reliable income, minimizing taxes, making confident decisions, and having the peace of mind to simply enjoy moments like this.

Enjoy the rest of your summer.

P.S. If you’re within 10 years of retirement, or already retired, and wondering whether you’re making the most of what you’ve worked so hard to build, I’d love to help.

Whether you’re looking for a one-time Fee-Only Financial Facelift or ongoing wealth management, my goal is simple: to help you retire with confidence and enjoy the next chapter of your life.

Watching soccer this summer has reminded me of something.

The best athletes in the world don’t compete alone.

Professional soccer teams have coaches.

Olympians have trainers.

Successful CEOs have advisors.

Not because they aren’t capable, but because having the right guidance helps them perform at their best.

Retirement is no different.

Many of the women I meet are intelligent, successful, and have done an incredible job saving over the years.

They’re not looking for someone to take over.

They’re looking for someone to help answer the questions that keep them up at night.

• Can I actually afford to retire?

• How much can I safely spend each year?

• When should I take CPP and OAS?

• Am I paying more tax than I need to?

• Will my money last if I live into my 90s?

That’s what a retirement plan is really about.

Not predicting the market.

Not chasing the next hot investment.

It’s about creating a roadmap so you can make confident decisions and enjoy the next chapter of your life.

Because every championship team has a coach.

And one of the biggest transitions in life deserves a plan, too.

Recently, I worked with a woman in her early 60s who had just gone through a divorce and sold her family home.

For the first time, she was making every major financial decision on her own.

Together, we completed a Financial Facelift.
Here’s what she walked away with:
A retirement income roadmap
A tax-efficient RRSP strategy
A plan for CPP & OAS
Confidence in her next chapter

The biggest transformation wasn’t her investments.
It was her confidence.

If you’re approaching retirement, recently divorced, or simply wondering if you’re making the right financial decisions, let’s talk.

My daughter recently graduated, and like many parents, I’m excited to see what comes next.

As both a mom and a financial advisor, here’s what I want her, and every new graduate, to know about money:

• Learn to manage money early. If you’re using RESP funds for school, create a budget and take responsibility for your spending. Learning to manage money is one of the most valuable life skills.

• Make saving a habit. One thing I do with my own kids is match a portion of what they save, similar to how some employers match pension or group RRSP contributions. It’s a great way to encourage saving and reinforce good financial habits.

• Open a TFSA. TFSA contribution room begins accumulating at age 18, so it’s worth opening one and getting started early, even with small amounts.

• Understand the FHSA before opening one. It can be an incredible tool for future home buyers, but contribution room only starts once the account is opened and carry-forward room is limited. Make sure you understand the rules before deciding when to open an account.

• Remember that time is your greatest asset. At 18, you don’t need to find the perfect investment, you simply need to start building good financial habits.

Congratulations to all the graduates and their families celebrating this exciting milestone.

If you have a child who recently graduated or turned 18 and would like guidance on TFSAs, FHSAs, RESPs, or getting them off to a strong financial start, I’d be happy to help. I offer complimentary 30-minute consultations for families looking to plan their next steps.

Women often spend years saving for retirement but very little time thinking about how that money will eventually be used.

Questions I hear all the time:

• Will I have enough?
• When should I take CPP?
• How much tax will I pay?
• Can I afford to travel?
• What happens if I live longer than expected?

The women who feel most confident about retirement usually aren’t the ones with the largest portfolios.

They’re the ones with a plan.

Whether you’re approaching retirement on your own, after a divorce, after the loss of a spouse, or as part of a couple, understanding your retirement income strategy can make a significant difference.

We offer both fee-only retirement planning and full-service wealth management for individuals looking for ongoing advice, investment management, and retirement planning support.

If you’re wondering whether you’re on track, feel free to reach out.

“You don’t need to have all the answers today. A good retirement plan is often the first step toward greater financial confidence.”

The biggest question isn’t:

“Can I retire?”

It’s:

“Will my money last as long as I do?”

If you’re within 10 years of retirement and would like a second opinion, let’s chat.

Most Canadians have no idea these CRA audit triggers are getting flagged automatically.

Simple mistakes involving TFSAs, real estate, and crypto can lead to penalties and reassessments years later.
