Considering the retirement income available through programs like Old Age Security (OAS) and the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), retiring in Canada can be a great thing. However, these pension programs are only designed to fulfill your retirement income requirements partially. Using a sound retirement plan, Canadians can set themselves up for a comfortable life in their golden years.
With the combination of a sound strategy and using your Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) contribution room, you can create a sizeable nest egg to fund your retirement. While there are several ways to utilize the TFSA for retirement planning, we will focus on wealth growth through tax-free capital gains.
By allocating money to growth stocks with the potential to deliver multi-bagger returns in the long run, you can raise the funds necessary for a comfortable retirement. Today, we will discuss three growth stocks you can consider for this purpose.
