Hi Lucy,

I have posts for renters. Use the search on my blog for other topics.

The best one for renters is here: Why Renting Could Be Your Secret to Smarter Wealth Building: Insights from Toronto-based Financial Planner Ed Rempel Edit https://edrempel.com/worthview-article-why-renting-could-be-your-secret-to-smarter-wealth-building-insights-from-toronto-based-financial-planner-ed-rempel/

I don’t own a home and there must be some strategies for people like me to use in order to build wealth.

Hi Medhi,

You have to be a “first-time home buyer” to open an FHSA. That means you and your spouse cannot have owned a home that you lived in this year or the last 4 calendar years.

If you are a current homeowner, you cannot open one for yourselves. Possibly for your kids, if you have them.

Would current homeowners (especially if our RRSP is maxed out) be able to benefit from FHSA at all?

Thanks.
