Keep in mind that once you hit 71, the amount you withdraw from your RRSP (now RRIF) has a fixed minimum. If you have enough in your account you could be forced to withdraw large amounts in the top tax bracket.
I know of course that this is a problem that everyone would like to have and I certainly wouldn't complain if I am faced with that 40 years from now, but it is still worth considering.
