RESP Mississauga

And you can start doing that by opening an RESP account. It’s as simple as that. You might be asking how. Well in a year you can contribute a maximum of $2500 to the account and the government will also pitch with a 20% grant of your contributions. Now if you are contributing every year then by the time your child is ready for college the total saved amount can cover the total education costs. And sometimes, there are extra savings as well. Also, your relatives can also contribute to an RESP account. If you want to know more, schedule an appointment with Rupinder in Mississauga.
