When a financial product is more affordable (or even free), banks aren’t too keen on promoting it or helping you access it. Why? Because they want to make money. Banks are also very good at manipulating consumers into thinking they’re getting a ‘deal’ when they’re really paying a hefty price. So, how can you know when it’s truly free money and when it’s a ploy? Enter Alan Whitton (aka Big Cajun Man). On today’s podcast, Alan gives real examples of false ‘free’ financial services and products to help us make more informed banking and investing decisions. Alan also explains how RDSPs and RESPs work and how to access income-based benefits in the two plans. Tune in for lots of practical advice!
