TFSAs
Tax Free Savings Accounts are one of Canada's best savings tools for those over the age of 18. A TFSA is a registered savings vehicle that allows you to invest up to a set amount per calendar year ($6,000 in 2019) and withdraw funds whenever you'd like, all without a penny paid in taxes.
Here's how it works:

Earn income tax-free |

Contribute up to a maximum of $6,000 in 2019 |
