Celebrity Savers Meaghan and David Overcome RESP Barriers

There’s nothing more exciting for SmartSAVER than when we see parents like Meaghan and David be successful in starting savings for their children’s post-secondary education, especially when they thought they could never afford to do it!

We call them our Celebrity Savers! We hope you’ll read and share their story. It might just inspire another parent to start their child’s RESP with the Canada Learning Bond.Meaghan and David cropped square

 

 

I have online banking and saw that the RESP accounts began at zero, but a few weeks later I saw a thousand bucks in the accounts. Santa came early!” — David.
