Tim Borody and Brad Smith are back in the studio during a frigid Ontario January to kick off the new year by tackling the "taboo" of asking simple financial questions. They dive deep into why true financial well-being isn't about knowing every nitty-gritty detail, but about gaining the clarity and confidence to make wise decisions—even if that means asking the same question every single year.

• The Myth of "Unlimited" RRSPs: Tim and Brad explain how the old advice of "just keep loading up" RRSPs can backfire, leading to forced withdrawals and higher tax brackets in retirement than during your working years.
• Understanding the RRSP/RIFF Meltdown: Learn the mechanics of a "meltdown" strategy—shifting assets from taxable RRSPs into tax-free environments like TFSAs to smooth out your lifetime tax bill and protect your estate.
• Creating Flexible "Pots" of Capital: Discover why having multiple pools of capital—rather than just one big RRSP—gives you the freedom to fund big-ticket dreams, like an Alaskan cruise, without losing half your withdrawal to the CRA.

As you look at your own retirement accounts this year, join Tim and Brad to see how a life-centered approach to tax planning can provide the contentment that comes from knowing you're in control of your financial future.
