On the other hand, if you
're in a
low tax -
bracket, your first choice should
be your TFSA, since you
're not paying much
in tax anyway and don't benefit as much from the RRSP
tax rebate.
You could get the one - time benefit of pulling money out at a
low rate, but then you
're going to have non-registered investments that grow more slowly due to the
tax drag than registered ones — and if you expect to
be in a
low bracket at retirement
anyway (or for several more years as your disability takes time to resolve), then taking the money out early
is of no real benefit to you.
