Gordon Pape has a TFSA book, but it contains enough questionable material that I wouldn't put it in the same class as Preet's book.

This is precisely why I a...Nice article as always. <br />This is precisely why I am of the opinion that it makes sense to at some point a few years before retirement to hook up with a tax knowledgeable planner. It's easy to make your nest egg. No need to pay a lot of fees during your earning & growth years. The time when good second opinion advice is later. One or two missed technicalities and you could miss out on a lot of tax or other savings. The system seems almost deliberately made to be complicated to confuse the average person. How would anyone figure out every useable strategy on their own?paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050081178673700867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-15636143300779427122014-09-03T09:06:46.765-04:002014-09-03T09:06:46.765-04:00Those are some interesting strategies for sure.
