But Stephanie and Michael Harrison have ambitious ideas They plan to pool their finances to buy a home, then take in friends as boarders and tenants. After all, if you don't have enough money yourself, you need to use creativity and imagination to achieve your goals. And plan well ahead — as Stephanie, 11, and brother, Michael, 9, are doing, 5 “It's always been a household rule that both children must put buy their own place so they can move out,” Harrison said. Fall is bringing us into the annual Canada Savings Bond campaign once again — pre-empt- Mike Grenby Syndicated Columnist ed this year by B.C: Savings Bonds, which are already on sale $100 a year from their all é birthday money and so on into Canada Savings Bonds,” said Marilyn Harrison, who works part-time for Revenue Canada during tax season. “This year, hecause the kids now have paper routes, they are going to start putting aside $200 into CSBs every year.” So far, each child has more than $2,000. “The children joke that they are going to use their CSBs to paying a five per cent for their three-year term. Many of the two bonds characteristics are similar — as are the reasons for buying, or not buying, them. The record of $53.8 billion CSBs held in 1987 — thanks to the stock market crash which pro- duced record sales of $17.4 bil- lion that year — has fallen to $33.9 billion today. And CSBs certainly aren't the only or even the most important way to save or hold money. But obviously thousands of Canadians still like to buy the bonds. Back to the world of housing Margaret Bergdal, a 46-year-old teacher, used $40,000 of her CSBs this year plus the equity in the home she sold to buy a $291,000 house for cash. “I buy the bonds every year because it's an easy way to save money and | like knowing the money is there in a safe, liquid form,” she said Besides the tradition of buying CSBs, their safety and liquidity appeal to individuals. They can be a good way to hold money for an emergency or opportunity And the discipline of an automat- ic payroll deduction offers one of the better forced savings plans (remember to deduct the interest you pay) Yet you should never auto matically buy CSBs or BCSBs because it appears the “right” thing to do. Review all the alter- natives and buy the bonds only if it’s the “right” thing for your per- sonal and financial situation at this time. Some of the alterna- lives *Delete your debt. Work out how much tax you pay on the bond interest. In almost every case, this after-tax interest you receive is far less than the interest gs bond campaign rather than investing. After you account for income tax and infla- tion, what's left of the bond inter- est will rarely make you wealthy. If you can develop the expertise and tolerate more risk, consider putting some money into the stock market, revenue property or you pay on out ding credit card balances, loans and mort- gages. Consider the competition Many financial institutions come out with instruments similar to the bonds — and often pay a slightly higher rate. Just be sure you stay within deposit insurance limits. Remember the RRSP. Putting money into a registered retire- ment savings plan allows you to. Save tax now and shelter the growth inside your plan from tax Of course, you can put the bonds into a (self-directed) RRSP and enjoy the same benefits; try to find a plan with low or no fees. °Go for growth.
