Hi, folks.
I came across mention of TFSA's the other day and it got me curious. What exactly are they?
Anybody in these forums know more about them? Can anybody just open an account and say they want it to be a TFSA? Are there any restrictions? How do they differ from an RRSP?
(I am going to do some additional research on my own, but it would be good to have the info also posted in these forums.)
That strikes me as the next thing to an oxymoron. If you are talking income tax, you only pay income tax on income, and considering the pitiful amount of interest paid on savings accounts, once any sane person has more than a few dollars accumulated in one even the most cautious person would switch it over to an MMF or G.I.C.
