As this generation increasingly dominates the workforce and positions itself to receive substantial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/insights\/generational-shift-navigating-the-great-wealth-transfer-and-its-implications-on-philanthropy\">wealth transfers<\/a> in the coming decades, their financial decisions will carry considerable weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coupled with the personal and professional transitions typical of this life stage, understanding the value of practical financial-management skills and overall&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/insights\/6-financial-literacy-principles\">financial literacy<\/a> becomes crucial. This tip sheet provides useful information and strategies within six key aspects to help millennials build confidence and knowledge when it comes to planning and managing their financial affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Identifying short- and long-term financial goals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For some individuals, the process of goal setting and then planning for those goals from a financial standpoint may feel like an overwhelming task when viewed on an overall scale. Additionally, for some millennials, shifting their mindset to include long-term financial goals may be challenging, as there are often several more immediate needs and goals to juggle for those in this age demographic, including post-secondary education, marriage, home ownership or starting a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s important to recognize, however, is that defining short- and long-term financial goals is a very beneficial starting point to map out concrete plans for reaching those objectives. Taking this process one step further by writing goals down transforms aspirations into tangible commitments. This deliberate act fosters greater accountability, enables systematic progress tracking and creates natural benchmarks that help maintain focus and motivation. And regardless as to whether those goals are more immediate or farther into the future, clearly defining and recording them provides an important sense of direction for putting appropriate strategies in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Creating a structured savings plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of the type or range of goals an individual has set and is working toward, it is crucial to understand the value and importance of developing a savings plan. One highly effective approach to consider for saving is determining a specific amount to set aside on a regular basis. This is something that can be achieved through a preauthorized contribution plan where funds are automatically taken from a paycheque and deposited into an investment vehicle or savings account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, a good starting point is to direct three to 10 percent of one\u2019s paycheque to a savings program. As a person\u2019s paycheque increases over time, it is also important to revisit the amount or percentage that goes into the account and modify it as appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The overall thinking behind this type of approach is that \u201cif you don\u2019t see it, you don\u2019t spend it\u201d and the predetermined and automatic component removes the risk of going off course or making an impulse decision that isn\u2019t in line with one\u2019s overall goals. This type of structure in saving also ensures ongoing positive progress toward an individual\u2019s goals and is easily tracked and monitored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Building a spending plan and adhering to it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Further to establishing and using a budget is the importance of developing a realistic spending plan and there are a range of online programs and apps to use for budgeting purposes. While they may be useful and convenient in some regards, the shortfall is that these types of tools cannot make the spending decisions for an individual; instead, they function more as a tracking method. This is where the value of a defined spending plan comes into play, as it provides a method for self-checks prior to making purchases or other spending decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spending plans are most effective when they are created in alignment with the identified short- and long-term goals and accurately reflect what amounts individuals can work with. In this sense, an appropriate spending plan functions as a helpful reminder of goals and objectives and assists in developing accountability and mindfulness in making financial decisions that a person may not otherwise pay attention to. RBC offers some helpful online tools and calculators in this regard, which can be accessed by visiting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/savingsspot\/tools-and-calculators.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"link-ext\">The Savings Spot<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"778\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/05\/young-woman-using-laptop-and-credit-card-in-page.jpg\" alt=\"young woman using laptop and credit card\" class=\"wp-image-3581\" style=\"width:778px;height:518px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/05\/young-woman-using-laptop-and-credit-card-in-page.jpg 778w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/05\/young-woman-using-laptop-and-credit-card-in-page.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/05\/young-woman-using-laptop-and-credit-card-in-page.jpg?resize=768,511 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Understanding various forms of debt, as well as considerations for paying down debt versus investing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a topic many individuals struggle with, as common thinking is that paying off debt should always be the priority. The main point to recognize, however, is that not all debt is created equal, so individuals need to know what types of debt they have, and then look at the interest rates on that debt in comparison with the rate of return on investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Credit cards typically have very high interest rates and are an example of debt to pay down first, as the interest is non-deductible. On the other hand, some debt has interest that is deductible for tax purposes, such as certain types of student loans, and it may be considered debt to defer paying down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When considering where investing fits in, the decision needs to be based on the cost of borrowing versus the return on investing; in other words, if an individual\u2019s after-tax return on investments is more than the after-tax cost of debt, investing may be a more beneficial option (keeping in mind, however, the risk behind the investment choice).&nbsp;<em>Note: To ensure your specific circumstances have been properly evaluated, it is important to consult with a qualified tax advisor<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Developing a basic knowledge of investment options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This strategy closely ties back to the creation of a savings plan, as individuals need to be aware of the different types of plans and accounts that exist and the potential benefits of each, depending on one\u2019s circumstances and goals. In regards to registered accounts, two main options to examine are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/insights\/using-a-tfsa-to-help-you-reach-your-financial-goals\">Tax-Free Savings Accounts<\/a>\u00a0(TFSAs) and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/insights\/five-strategies-to-maximize-your-rrsp-savings\">Registered Retirement Savings Plans<\/a>\u00a0(RRSPs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifically, TFSAs offer flexibility and one of the key features is the tax-free growth. TFSAs can be opened by any individual with a social insurance number who is at least 18 years old. Individuals can contribute up to their contribution room and carry forward any unused contribution room. The amount invested in a TFSA grows tax-exempt and it can be withdrawn at any point, and the full amount of withdrawals can be put back into the TFSA in future years. This savings option often appeals to those for use with short-term goals, but it is also a worthwhile option for long-term goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RRSPs are less flexible but offer a main advantage of tax deductibility, as individuals regain some of the funds in the form of a tax refund. RRSPs also provide the use of funds for the Home Buyers\u2019 Plan, where individuals can withdraw up to $60,000 tax-free from their RRSP to use toward the purchase of their first home, as well as the Lifelong Learning Program, in which a maximum of $20,000 can be withdrawn to fund full-time training or education for an individual or their spouse or common-law partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If an individual has topped up their TFSA and RRSP, they may want to examine non-registered investment vehicles. Here, however, understanding taxation as it relates to interest income, dividend income and capital gains is critical, so it is important to work with a qualified advisor to make those decisions. In general, for all investment considerations, individuals should speak with a qualified advisor to ensure the best options are selected to suit one\u2019s goals and needs, and to strategize short- and long-term objectives in the most effective ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbcwm-well well is-style-default mb-3 migrated\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"h-employer-programs\">Employer programs<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Many employers offer a variety of programs to help support their employees in saving for the future. Common ones include a pension plan or an employer-sponsored group RRSP plan or contribution matching program. As such, it is important to understand what programs are offered by one&#8217;s employer and participate to the maximum as much as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Prioritizing overall financial literacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Effective financial planning relies on a strong foundation of financial knowledge, as understanding key concepts directly empowers people to make confident, informed decisions. With this in mind, it is important for millennials\u2014along with their parents or other family members\u2014to make financial learning and literacy a priority. For some, this education may come from formal programs or online research and resources. A useful tool to consider in this regard is the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/financial-consumer-agency\/services\/financial-literacy-database.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canadian Financial Literacy Database <\/a>, which helps individuals search for information, tools and events on a wide variety of financial topics from a range of Canadian organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further to programs or self-directed education is more informal learning that may occur through family members, and it is here that open communication, exposure to financial management or family discussions may prove beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article was updated in Jan. 2026.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Six main areas of
