This article would be more informative if it would have taken the time to put some numbers to it for illustration purposes.

Average earnings rate for a dental hygienist: $35/hr
2000 hrs work per year: $70,000
6% personal portion to rrsp: $4, 200
3% matching employer to rrsp: $ 2, 100
Total annual rrsp conrtibution: $6, 300

rrsp balance after 10 years compounded at 7% annually: $90, 000
rrsp balance after 25 years compounded at 7% annually: $412, 633

Approaching a decent retirement is reasonable for all of us without defined pension plans all for $350/month. End of year tax refund can be used towards next years contributions. Don't have the spare cash? Don't ever sign up for that new car loan!

Numbers are validated by my own experience.
