    • 2025 December 29, Anita Bruinsma, “Three financial lessons to teach your teens in 2026”, in The Globe and Mail, page B9:
      If your teenager is turning 18 this year, give them the best gift ever: a tax-free savings account. Go online and guide them through the process of opening a TFSA. Then, get them started by giving them their first contribution. For teenagers, the benefit of having a TFSA isn't so much about the tax savings — it's much more about exposure to financial products and developing a savings and investing habit.
