Why increasing RRSP transfer-out fees makes no sense Service fees and financial advice costs will increase over time — to reflect the higher cost of goods and service; however, transfer-out fees are not service fees.

According to the Canadian Real Estate Association, the average home price in Canada in early 2025 hovers near $700,000. In cities like Toronto and Vancouver, it’s closer to $1 million.

Agreed. But you don't publicly convict or embellish the charges, either.
@MichelleLA1981 You don’t charge 90 year old men on supposition and rumour.
I'm bad at social media. NOT a daily (or weekly) user and try to prioritize IRL and #mentalhealth. The downside is being late at showing gratitude 🙏 for the unexpected 🫶 from Canadian #personalfinance icon @hardbaconca! Thank you 😍😍😍
