Dropped off a cheque to my financial advisor last night. I should be getting a good return, which I will either dump into the mortgage or save for our expenses when we buy a house.

Maxed out my contributions back in December. Actually, I ended up overpaying by $150 or so due to the early paycheque we received around Christmas.
But as always, no tax refund for me.

Regular scheduled contribution (bi-weekly) + pre-deduction from work (DPSP / ESPP) = pretty closed to max out my RRSP deduction limit (maybe a few hundred bucks breathing room to be rolled over to next year).

You don't even need to contribute hundreds of $ at once. Even if you only contribute $30 per paycheque, the compound growth will add up over time.

Does it make a difference if you are a dual income family and helps maxing out yoru RRSP contribution every year? I am not married and have no kid, but after the obligated expenses (mortgage, property tax, utility, gas, insurance, etc) I barely have money left to contribute iFail in life.jpg
It's not so much a dual income family that helps you save money - but rather, the average living cost per person goes down as you increase the # of people in your household (up to a certain point).
Cue Brampton -- how many families are living under one roof?
There are *some* additional saving vehicles for when you have a spouse and kids; but its no where proportional to how much you spend on supporting them.
In your case, if you want to start saving (while you have your own place); consider getting a roomie and have them defray some of your costs.

This thread inspired me to max out my RRSPs yearly and to max out all my unused contribution room that I've accrued from previous years.
