Q: This is comment in reference to a Question by Bryan:
It would be more beneficial for Bryan to have the other spouse as the successor to the RRSP (only spouse can be successor and basically the TFSA money transfers into TFSA of the spouse - no contribution limit affected). They can then have the beneficiaries if the successor has predeceased the account holder. I thought this might be something that Bryan and/or other members in similar situation can consider. Thanks.

Q: My wife and I are 66 years old. We each have a TFSA which we are trying to maximize. These would be the last two accounts we would ever take money out of. Our children are the beneficiaries so these are long term accounts - hopefully! We each have RRSPs and share a non-registered account we use for income. We don't have any fixed income but do have enough cash to last us 3 years. No pensions, but are quite diversified in a number of blue chip stocks.
Between the two of us we have PHO, SIS, TOY, BNS, TSGI. None of which has been very good lately but we are patient. We have enough money for two more positions, and think it would be prudent to add two, more stable, names. OTEX, BOYD, GC ? Suggestions?
THANK YOU !
