CNIB's Dollars Seen Differently podcast breaks down financial topics to make them more accessible for people who are blind, Deafblind or have low vision. Hosted by Ryan Hooey, each episode features a down-to-earth conversation with financial experts, offering practical tips and resources on topics like accessing government benefits, smart saving strategies, managing debt, taxes, financial aid for education, and more.
Join us on Wednesday, April 30 for an informative session where we’ll discuss Episode 4: Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), featuring Ryan Chin from Sun Life Financial and Peridot Financial Solutions.
Designed to help Canadians with disabilities save for the future, the RDSP grows tax-free until withdrawal and offers significant government benefits through grants and bonds—potentially up to $90,000 in contributions over a lifetime.
In this session, we’ll explore:
- Who is eligible for an RDSP
- How contributions work and how they can be matched through the Canada Disability Savings Grant (CDSG)
- How the Canada Disability Savings Bond (CDSB) provides extra funds to low-income individuals, even without contributions
- Why knowledgeable advisors can be valuable in navigating RDSP options
After listening to the podcast, we’ll host a discussion to answer questions, share insights, and explore how the RDSP can make a meaningful difference. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain clarity on a powerful financial tool!
