The ins and outs of the TFSA

According to data from the Institut de la Statistique du Québec, approximately 34% of Quebecers had a TFSA in 2013. On the other hand, the majority of the money invested in it would give almost nothing to its holders, since most of them ignore the flexibility they could benefit from.
