As the original poster....I guess that is known as the OP....I remember the first time I saw a reference to an OP....I was thinking...Opie?...from the Andy Griffith show? Then, I figured it out....ohhhhh.
What I have learned here is that I will max out my RRSP. What remains unanswered, is.....are there any financial institutions that will creatively withdraw from my account within my specified parameters of permission. Reiterating, I will permit the institution to withdraw 5% regardless of sum deposited. Should said deposited sum exceed, let's say, $2,000 then they are to withdraw 10% of the amount exceeding that. Should said deposit exceed, again let's just say, $3,000, then they have instructions to withdraw and redirect 25% of that excess amount. And, oh happy days, should the deposited sum exceed $4,000 then they have written permission to sieze the entire amount over and to move that into the RRSP or TFSA.
So, what I am really saying here, is that I am lazy. I am weak. I am wanting someone to take an interest in my deposit patterns and to have the authority to force a savings program upon me. I know I could review each deposit and make the calculations on my own....then pay myself just as I would pay a bill...but, I don't want to. Much as I enjoy simply saying..."yes Ma'am"....I would enjoy a competent savings institution dipping into my pocket.
I am guessing that this is a simple thing and one that can be solved with a simple call to my financial institution. As soon as I get back from Vangroovie, I will do exactly that.
most respectfully,
eddie.
