What if you need to withdraw more than your master plan has alloted for in your golden years? Guess what? Huge tax hit! (Guess who wins?)


I know people that have retired and did save up through RRSP's through most of their working life that say they wish they would have done things way different.
1) Nope, not taxed on inheritance
2) Dont take out the rsp, borrow against it, and write off the interest.
3) If you plan on making what you making now when you retire why are you saving? And no its not a huge hit it will be the same if you had a job and made that much.
