The Canadian Financial ‘Money Things To Do’ Checklist for Each and Every Year

Here’s my short checklist of financial money management I do before the end of the year to prepare for the next.

It is not everything I do (and I don’t do it all, such as the RESP contribution), but it is stuff I note to get done.

By NOVEMBER 30th OF THIS YEAR

  • Get your free credit report from Transunion and Equifax if you haven’t already done so the whole year

By DECEMBER 31st OF THIS YEAR

  • Sell any stocks you want to claim capital losses on
  • Sell any stocks you want to claim capital gains on
  • Contribute to your child’s RESP ($2500 contribution will get you $500 from the government)

Note: Stocks sold for capital losses cannot be used to reduce your income (earned, dividends, etc). It can only be used to offset any stocks you have gained money on, and it can be carried forward as a tax credit into future years as well.

By JANUARY 1st OF NEXT YEAR

  • Set aside another $5500 in TFSAs

By MARCH 31st OF NEXT YEAR

  • Max out RRSP contribution room to claim tax credits for this tax year

      I went with Questrade to buy ETFs under his RESP.

      If you’re interested in opening an account with Questrade, let me know, you could use my referral ID and get $50 in free trades:

    Nice and sweet. In my case the things are a bit different, but I love the idea of being so well prepared for the next year.

The Budgeting Tool

About Me

I am a wealth-obsessed, style-focused, minimalist.

I got out of $60,000 of debt in 18 months with The Budgeting Tool which I now sell online and donate its net proceeds to charity, along with The Investing Tool.

I've also authored two books: Start a Blog Like a Boss - Making $1000 USD a month & Invest your Money Like a Boss - In 4 Hours a Year.

I earn like a princess when I work but am trying hard to live like a duchess instead by not spending all of it.

The rest of the time I relax and enjoy the time off by traveling, although traveling has been on hold lately with the arrival of Little Bun, my rambunctious, ever-hungry little boy.

Welcome.
