I never started an RESP which in hindsight I should have. I was cult brainwashed against education.
In Canada you can start one for each child or for yourself.
The Canadian government will give grants of up to $9200.00 for each child or for yourself.
By the time my daughter needed to leave home to finish high school I had the money to make it happen from my resources but i still left money on the table. I helped her buy her own place and she is doing well for herself.
When my wife went to school as an adult I payed but ran it through my business so it was more tax friendly and she got top marks in the province and they paid her $5000.00 as top student in her vocation.
But if I could go back I would have started the resp for both of them. It’s free money.
So for my American friends having babies take Trump up on his offer and get your $1000.00
