At what salary range should I start putting money into SRS to use for investing instead of using cash savings to maximise tax reduction?

How much should I be earning to use money in my SRS for investing?

Generally, at the 7% income tax bracket, ie $40k-$80k annual salary is when you can consider contributing. Below that it doesn’t really make sense.

At the 11.5% tax bracket i.e. $80k-$120k, I’d argue is when it almost certainly makes sense to contribute to SRS.

I am planning to use all the red packet and cash presents for our child, to save and invest it until she is entering university, to use it to pay her school fees. Where should we put the money in?

1) Should I buy SSBs using SRS funds instead of cash? 2) I'm a young working adult. My tax is abt $400/year. Should I be looking at contributing to SRS now, or use my cash elsewhere?

I am a fresh graduate (Free from debt) started my full time job. I wanted to start investing to have side income instead of using my time to trade for money(part time tuition) can you please advise me how do I start investing?

I’m currently 24 this year. Should I use the money to get a degree so that I’ll have a chance of getting a higher salary or use the money to invest instead? ?
