Lyrics

[Verse 1]
RRSP time, building up your future nest
Eighteen percent of income, that's your yearly test
Contribution room rolls over, never goes to waste
Spousal plans can split the tax, keep more money in your space
Home Buyers' Plan lets you borrow twenty-five
Pay it back in fifteen years to keep your savings alive

[Chorus]
Registered accounts, they're your tax-free friends
RRSP, TFSA, the benefits never end
RESP for education, RDSP for those in need
FHSA for your first home, plant that money seed
Remember the room, watch the limits tight
Registered accounts will make your future bright

[Verse 2]
TFSA grows tax-free, that's the sweetest deal
Six thousand yearly limit, but the gains are real
Over-contribute and they'll charge you one percent each month
Qualifying investments, stocks and bonds you want
Withdrawal room comes back next year, flexibility's the key
Build your wealth without the tax, financial liberty

[Chorus]
Registered accounts, they're your tax-free friends
RRSP, TFSA, the benefits never end
RESP for education, RDSP for those in need
FHSA for your first home, plant that money seed
Remember the room, watch the limits tight
Registered accounts will make your future bright

[Verse 3]
RESP for kids' schooling, twenty-five hundred max
Government adds twenty percent, those CESG facts
Low income families get CLB for free
Two thousand lifetime bonus for post-secondary
Withdraw the grants first, avoid that penalty cost
Education planning wins when strategy's not lost

[Bridge]
FHSA launched in twenty-three, eight thousand contribution space
Tax deduction going in, tax-free coming out with grace
RDSP for disability, grants and bonds so sweet
Matching funds from government make the deal complete

[Chorus]
Registered accounts, they're your tax-free friends
RRSP, TFSA, the benefits never end
RESP for education, RDSP for those in need
FHSA for your first home, plant that money seed
Remember the room, watch the limits tight
Registered accounts will make your future bright

[Outro]
Five accounts to master, each one serves a goal
Registered account wisdom, financial control
