What is often overlooked, however, is that even modest earnings can generate valuable Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) contribution room. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"BasicParagraph\" style=\"margin-top: 4.5pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"line-height: 120%;font-family: &#039;Open Sans&#039;, sans-serif;color: #282829;letter-spacing: -0.35pt\">A Case Study: Building a Retirement Nest Egg From Age 14<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"BasicParagraph\" style=\"margin-top: 4.5pt\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 120%;font-family: &#039;Open Sans&#039;, sans-serif;color: #282829;letter-spacing: -0.35pt\">Here\u2019s a simple case study: At age 14, Sam begins working part-time as a lifeguard, earning $5,000 each summer. Her aunt helps her file a tax return, allowing her to accumulate RRSP contribution room at a rate of 18 percent of earned income, or $900 annually. Even without making RRSP contributions immediately, unused contribution room carries forward indefinitely. By age 22, after graduating from university, Sam has accumulated $8,100 of available RRSP room. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"BasicParagraph\" style=\"margin-top: 4.5pt\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 120%;font-family: &#039;Open Sans&#039;, sans-serif;color: #282829;letter-spacing: -0.35pt\">When she begins full-time employment and faces a 30 percent marginal tax rate,* she contributes the full $8,100 to her RRSP, saving approximately $2,430 in taxes ($8,100 x 30%). More importantly, if investing at an average annual return of 6 percent, that single contribution could grow to nearly $75,000 by age 60 \u2014 not a bad head start for someone just beginning their career!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"BasicParagraph\" style=\"margin-top: 4.5pt\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 120%;font-family: &#039;Open Sans&#039;, sans-serif;color: #282829;letter-spacing: -0.35pt\">And the lessons extend well beyond building a retirement nest egg:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"BasicParagraph\" style=\"margin-top: 4.5pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"line-height: 120%;font-family: &#039;Open Sans&#039;, sans-serif;color: #282829;letter-spacing: -0.35pt\">Building Lifelong Financial Habits <\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"line-height: 120%;font-family: &#039;Open Sans&#039;, sans-serif;color: #282829;letter-spacing: -0.35pt\">\u2014 Supporting teens in filing taxes early can help instill financial literacy and disciplined money management habits that can carry into adulthood, when tax returns will become a necessary part of managing personal income.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"BasicParagraph\" style=\"margin-top: 4.5pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"line-height: 120%;font-family: &#039;Open Sans&#039;, sans-serif;color: #282829;letter-spacing: -0.35pt\">Tax-Deferred Growth and Future Tax Savings Potential <\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"line-height: 120%;font-family: &#039;Open Sans&#039;, sans-serif;color: #282829;letter-spacing: -0.35pt\">\u2014 Unused RRSP room accumulated in early years can later be used to reduce taxable income, potentially increasing tax savings by claiming deductions when income and tax rates are higher in adulthood.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"BasicParagraph\" style=\"margin-top: 4.5pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"line-height: 120%;font-family: &#039;Open Sans&#039;, sans-serif;color: #282829;letter-spacing: -0.35pt\">Future Flexibility Through RRSP Programs <\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"line-height: 120%;font-family: &#039;Open Sans&#039;, sans-serif;color: #282829;letter-spacing: -0.35pt\">\u2014 RRSP savings can later be accessed as an interest-free loan, including up to $60,000 under the Home Buyers\u2019 Plan for an eligible first-home purchase, or up to $20,000 through the Lifelong Learning Plan for eligible education or training.
