R.E.S.P.

Today, Joe and I went to the bank and opened a RESP (Registered Education Saving Plan) for Bethany. The topic of RESP came up when I was in my second trimester. I read an article on RESP at the doctor's office. It costs about $40,000 tuition fees for four year university and it costs about $160,000 to raise a child from infant to 16 years of age. Overwhelmed with all these astronomical figures, Joe and I decided that setting up a RESP for Bethany is the right thing to do.

I applied for Bethany's SIN card, birth certificate the day after we got home from the hospital. The birth certificate came two days after, while the SIN card arrived a week after. The only thing left is getting a passport for Bethany. Joe got his last week!
