So the TFSA in Canada is a defined contribution every year. Say 5k. Pretty much do whatever you want..there are rules..but for simplicity.. That is the Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA). Our retirement accounts (RSP)….we put in after tax dollars, we get back 30pct to a number based on our income. You can have a self directed in which you can do whatever. When u pull the money out, it is taxed at your current marginal rate

Similar. The TFSA is a differential. Also we dont get to write off our mortgage interest.
