While there is plenty of uncertainty about what's ahead for the economy and financial markets, there is no doubt that setting aside money is a great way to prepare for the future.

Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) and Tax-free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) are both excellent ways to invest for your future but how do you decide between them?

Teri Courchene, former economist, director of research at one of Canada's big banks and financial educator, will answer these questions in this clear and easy-to-understand one-hour presentation.

Teri will go through the features and advantages of RRSPs and TFSAs to help you decide when and how to use them to meet your short-term and longer-term goals. She will cover contribution and withdrawal rules, tax implications, as well as an overview of how to get started with investing and check your progress over time.

This 1-hour program is part of TPL's Live & Online Personal Finance Campaign.
