The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that the majority of Canadians, especially young people, do not feel confident about mapping out their retirements, yet plan on contributing to their RRSPs anyway, according to a new survey. The Globe's Meera Raman writes that the study from Edward Jones released today suggests that even as many Canadians associate registered retirement savings plans with feelings of confusion and anxiety, the pressure to prepare for the future is still shaping how they save. Advisers say that the instinct to save is a positive first step, but without understanding where the money is going and why, those good intentions can turn inefficient and costly, they say. "Their anxiety is driving good behaviour," said Leslie Logan, a senior financial planner with TD Wealth, but "saving is just the first half of the battle." According to the poll, 41 per cent of Canadians plan to contribute to their RRSPs for the 2025 tax year, up slightly from last year. Among young adults aged 18 to 34, 48 per cent plan to contribute, an increase from 41 per cent the year before. Ms. Logan said it is important to save intentionally by identifying short- and long-term goals and choosing appropriate accounts.
