So the lesson here is that the higher your bracket (which is directly related to your
annual earnings), the more diligent you should be in including
tax - efficient investing
strategies into your investment

Another
strategy to minimize income
taxes on your RRSP / RRIF at death is to take
annual withdrawals from your
plan during your lifetime to maximize the income that will be
taxed at low rates by forcing additional withdrawals in years you are in a lower
tax bracket.
