I contribute to my pension plan at work on every one of my paycheques. I contribute 6% of my salary and my company contributes 7% of my salary. Wondering if I should be starting an RRSP account as well? Which one would be better for me?
I am 22 years old and keep in mind that I would like to like to purchase a home/condo of my own within the next two or three years. I do not want to be taking money out of these funds to purchase my home/condo and then having to re-contribute to them within x amount of years. I have also started a Tax-Free savings account but have already contributed the maximum of $5000 for this year.
Can someone explain to me the big differences between Pensions and RRSP's? Any good websites someone can refer me to?
