How to Save $1M in RRSP and TFSA Without Regrets

from AskTMFG The Podcast · host asktmfg

In this episode of the AskTMFG Podcast, Financial Advisors Carlo Cansino and John Iaconetti discuss one of the biggest milestones in Canadian retirement planning: saving $1 million across your RRSP and TFSA. While reaching $1M in registered accounts puts you in the top 1% of Canadians, the advisors explain that the real key is how you build and manage those savings over time. Contribution timing, tax brackets, and investment placement can all significantly impact how quickly you reach that goal, and how efficiently that money works for you in retirement. Carlo and John cover important strategies, including when to prioritize RRSP vs. TFSA contributions, how marginal tax rates affect your decisions, why withdrawal sequencing matters, and how proper asset allocation across accounts can improve long-term returns. Saving $1 million in RRSPs and TFSAs is an important milestone, but without the right tax and withdrawal strategy, many Canadians risk paying far more in taxes than necessary. 👉 Watch the full video episode on YouTube to learn how to build a $1M RRSP and TFSA strategy without costly mistakes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX-EIsGeyzM  Question for our listeners: Are you strategically building your RRSP and TFSA savings, or simply contributing without a long-term tax plan? 👉 If you’d like help reviewing your retirement strategy, we’re offering a complimentary portfolio analysis to evaluate your accounts, tax exposure, and income plan: https://tmfg.ca/portfolio-analysis/ Follow us on our social channels: LinkedIn: The McClelland Financial Group Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tmfg.ca Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themcclellandfinancialgroup_
