By 2026, Canadians with full eligibility will have access to $109,000 in tax-free account space each\u2014meaning couples could set aside up to $218,000 to grow their retirement income without worrying about taxes eating into their returns. What\u2019s even better is that any capital gains, dividends, or interest earned within these accounts remain completely tax-free and don\u2019t affect the pension clawback after the ~$95,000 threshold.<\/p>\n<p>For those who prefer peace of mind and don\u2019t need immediate access, non-cashable GICs are currently offering around 3%-4%, and your principal is protected up to $100,000 by deposit insurance. If you\u2019re comfortable with a bit more fluctuation, dividend stocks can provide liquidity and often outperform GICs\u2014some even raise payouts over time, though it\u2019s important to weigh potential price swings.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on your comfort level and needs, a well-diversified, tax-free account earning about 4% could pay out $4,360 a year per person, or $8,720 for a retired couple. I\u2019ve always believed that while money isn\u2019t the key to happiness, being prepared is the key to less stress\u2014especially in retirement. Having a thoughtful strategy for your savings helps ensure you can handle life\u2019s surprises with confidence.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to enjoying a stress-free retirement, having a smart plan for your savings matters more than ever.
