When should I start saving for my child's education?
Rounding it up
With school fees and costs of living on the rise, it’s important to start saving early for your child’s postsecondary education.
The first step is to open an RESP account, a tax-preferred savings plan designed to help parents save for their kids’ education.
Try to make automated monthly payments to your RESP. If you want to take it up a notch, replace non-essential items with RESP contributions — every little bit helps!
