What is a TFSA?

A TFSA helps your money grow tax-free.

But here's the important part:

A TFSA is an account - not an investment.

You can put cash, ETFs, stocks, and more inside it.

Pivaya says

Think of a TFSA like a container. The container gives you the tax advantage. You choose what goes inside.
