Just doing a little budgeting and was curious as to how much everyone puts away in an RRSP or mutual funds each month.

I'm looking to put away between $200 - $400 a month for 30 years or whatever. Not looking to use it to buy a house or car or anything like that.

I put $2000 in this year. I want to max them out every year. I can spend lots of coin of the Buick, but I want to be smart enough with my money so I can reitre to the coast before I'm 60.

A better way to do it would be to have monthy deduction taken off of each pay cheque pre tax. This will allow you to earn a return through out the year rather than let the government make money off of your money before they give it back. Just a thought.

$4000-$5000 a month or year?

You're allowed to put in 18% of your total income into an RRSP right? $4000 a month would mean you would make somewhere in the area of $260,000 a year. That's awesome! Do you need a secretary/lackey/etc. by any chance?
