Which is better, having $3,000 in your bank account or $5,000 in your RRSP? If you are wondering whether your money will be better off in a savings account or an RRSP then this is one of the most common questions that is asked when it comes to personal finance. There are specific factors that need to be taken into consideration when making this decision especially if you already have some money saved up in an RRSP with some years before you will retire.The most obvious answer to this question would be that the more money you save now the more money you will have later on in life.

This is a very common question that many people ask themselves when it comes to personal finance. The reason for this is because they want to know how much interest they will earn on their money, if they are investing in the stock market, what kind of securities are available, etc. The primary purpose of having an investment account is to invest ones funds so that it may grow over time with minimal risk. There are different types of investment accounts to choose from which include RRSP, RESPs, TFSAs, registered accounts like LIRAs, etc. Another reason why people would choose to invest in an investment account that is not directly linked to an RRSP is because it allows them the flexibility to withdraw money whenever they want. This option is not available with an RRSP. Another reason for this may be because there are certain taxes that are associated with RRSP's. One of these taxes is called the Alternative Minimum Tax which was created in order to ensure that individuals did not take advantage of tax free dollars by stuffing their retirement funds.* Savings rates may vary. cfa1e77820
