no TFSA?
Larry McDonald tells us why we might never see TFSA in action ... I like his idea of reduced income tax insteas. The only thing I like about TFSA is that it rewards investors instead of spenders...

About Me
- The Canadian Money Reviewer
- Ottawa, Canada
- "Keeping you informed about personal finance in Canada": that's my goal! I've been reading books and experimenting on personal finance for years. I've decided it was time to share what I've learned. I also hope to learn a lot from my readers! I'm from Ottawa and I'm a software engineer who really likes everything financial :-) I really hope to help other people get to a decent retirement and avoid the financial traps that lurk here and there.

I agree that the best aspect of a TFSA is that it shines on Savers.
IF the final structure of the TFSA is simple and user-friendly,.... the function will be very useful to everyone.
The TFSA will encourage saving for large pruchases and be a valuable emergence fund. Not only that it will be an optimal account for 'non-registered' retirement savings as all growth is non-taxable. As well, withdrawls are non-taxable, do not trigger claw-backs of other income, and create room within the account that can be refilled.
I am optimistic about the role of the TFSA to encourage the creation of wealth among Canadians.
