In this episode, Joanne and Melissa explore one of the most powerful yet often overlooked planning tools available to Canadians with disabilities: the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP).
They break down how the RDSP works, who qualifies, and why it can play such an important role in building long term financial security. From contribution rules to government grants and bonds, the RDSP offers unique advantages that many families are not fully aware of. Beyond the basics, Joanne and Melissa focus on how the RDSP fits into a broader financial plan. They discuss how it works alongside RRSPs and TFSAs, how it interacts with disability benefits, and how it can be integrated into long term and estate planning strategies.
This episode is a reminder that the RDSP is not just a savings account. When used properly, it can be a powerful tool to maximize government support and create lasting financial security for individuals with disabilities and their families.
