Linkstuff – Sick Week Edition

My whole family was sick this week, which is why I didn’t do my normal Wednesday post.  Next week, however will be jam-packed with great posts!

On with the links

Canadian Couch Potato wrote a good piece about risk in RESPs.  He includes a few quotes from your’s truly.

Bob Aaron wrote about a house that was built on the wrong lot.  Quite amusing.

In another email, he [broker’s assistant] complained that she had hung up on him, adding that at one point she made the “most ridiculous sound I’ve heard coming from an adult in quite some time, kind of like a lion roaring underwater.”

Jim Yih wrote about RRSP and RRIF tax traps.

Million Dollar Journey evaluates if a TFSA or RRSP is better if you have a definied benefit pension.
