My son started playing hockey this year. He was so excited all summer waiting for the season to begin. I was excited too but also apprehensive. I worried about him getting hurt (what mother doesn't?) but I also worried about the cost. I want my children to learn and experience everything life has to offer but I also know that some of that money should be invested in my children's futures.
As Canadian parents, we have big dreams for our kids to follow in the footsteps (skate steps?) of most Canadians before them. Maybe just maybe you are the parent of the next Wayne Gretzky or Sydney Crosby, but you never know unless you invest all your money, time and give up your weekends for out of town tournaments.
Or you can sleep in because 5 AM practice is not for everyone, am I right?
Extracurricular activities can really add up in costs, especially if you have big dreams of going pro. You may even need to get a second (or third) job.
Or you can put the money towards your child education by opening an RESP today and make all of their dreams for the future come true. An education is the best way to ensure your child’s success in the future and starting early saving for it will let your kids know you believed in their dreams even before they knew what they were.
