if you have utilized a good chunk of your TFSA room, it's worth it to explore better investment options, assuming you don't require those funds in the next year or two. Consider preferred shares, corporate bonds, or income funds. If you have 5 years + until you need the funds, consider blue chip/dividend paying equities. 7-10% is the historic range of long term equity returns

I agree. Most of the financial gurus estimate the rate of return at 7-10%. If that's the case, a million dollars over 30years of compounding is possible. But where are they finding these generous interest rates? My TFSA can barely maintain a 2% return!
naheedg Says:
Disagree with most points here. Simple example is if someone earns $50k, 10% saved is $5k. $5k x 30years is $150,000; 15% wouldn't be that much more. Assuming 3% net return (after inflation), it's only $240k. Fine you could argue reinvest the tax refund. But the millionaire concept?? RRSP doesn't provide more room than TFSA!!! It depends on income!!! And RESP guarantees 20% in grants - can an RRSP do that? NO, again, it depends on income. And how about mention of the HBP (home buyers plan)?
