  • A spousal RRSP is a retirement vehicle open to married and common-law couples. It allows the higher-earning spouse to make contributions to an RRSP account in their partner’s name — and benefit from the tax deduction. Spousal RRSPs are usually meant for long-term savings and cannot be withdrawn early without being penalized. If an early withdrawal is made, the funds will be taxed as the higher earner's income, rather than their partner’s income. As a physician family, you face unique considerations with your household finances. That’s why our MD team is here. We provide tailored, nuanced support to establish plans and goals that will work for you and your family. Start your financial journey here: https://lnkd.in/gXmi5js7.

    • Spousal RRSPs are often used as a tax strategy to help lighten the load for married and common-law couples with very different incomes.

    CEO at MD Financial Management

    It was a great honour to be selected as a #CatalystHonours Champion and to share the stage on Monday with so many exceptional business leaders. Congratulations to each of them for being a true catalyst of change. Thank you to the Catalyst team for galvanizing a community that is breaking down barriers and building equitable, inspiring workplaces where everyone feels empowered to do and be their best.

  • When your GIC matures, you will have to decide what comes next. The best choice depends on your personal financial goals. You should first determine whether you need the money right away or if you would prefer to reinvest. Once you establish your situation, consider these options. 💰 Withdraw the funds: If you need the funds immediately, you can withdraw the principal investment along with the interest earned. This can be transferred to your savings or chequing account. 🔄 Reinvest in a new GIC: If you don’t need the funds and want to continue earning interest, you can reinvest in a new GIC. Consider the different terms and interest rates to find the best option for your current needs. 🧐 Explore other investment options: If you are comfortable with some risk and want potentially higher returns, consider investing in other financial products like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). 🤝 Consult with a financial advisor: If you’re unsure about the best option, an advisor can help you make an informed decision based on your individual financial goals and risk tolerance.

    • When your GIC matures, there are several options to consider. You can cash out and use the money for immediate needs, or reinvest if you don’t need it quite yet.

    • Creating a debt repayment strategy, working on both short- and long-term goals together, investing in your future, considering incorporating your practice and starting to plan for retirement are all essential tips for navigating finances as a physician.
  • Canada has a graduated personal tax system, which means you are charged a different tax rate on various portions of your taxable income up to certain limits. There are currently five federal tax brackets. In addition to federal tax, you also must pay provincial income tax, which varies by province. Here is an example of how the federal income tax would be calculated on a taxable income of $120,000: 15% on the first $55,867 = $8,380.05 20.5% on the amount between $55,867 and $111,733 = $11,452.53 26% on the amount over $111,733 = $2,149.42 The total federal income tax would be $21,982.00 for the year. There are ways you can reduce your taxable income, so you owe less income tax each year – like investing in certain registered accounts such as an RRSP or an FHSA.

  • As you’re beginning your career and likely facing student debt, investing what you can may not be top of mind. But remember, time is the greatest asset you have when it comes to building your wealth. When you save and invest money, it earns a return. And you can make your money grow faster by earning a further return on that first return — that’s compounding. The earlier you start saving and investing, the greater the effect of compound growth. There is no time like the present to start investing in your future. Open a new MD Management Limited investment account and we’ll give you up to $500.

  • What’s something you buy often that might not be a “need” but makes you really happy? Is it a tasty burrito you buy for lunch once a week, or the latte you buy twice a day? It might seem silly, but thinking of your favourite treat, like a burrito, as a form of currency to understand the “happiness cost” of things can help you be more disciplined with your finances. For example, would you be willing to trade 10 burritos for a new pair of shoes? Was that bed and breakfast worth 25 future lattes? This is a helpful tool for you to stay on track with your budget. What item would you use to measure the "happiness cost" of things?
