The taxes could be a benefit, but frankly, I would rather have a combined $20K/year shoved into our TFSAs to earn more money (compounding FTW) over saving $1300 on taxes each year.

For example, say a 7% return on that first year of JUST the $20K... that's $1400 which is worth more than the tax break already... plus again, that $1400 gets added into the TFSA, so it just grows and grows, and the Gov't can't touch it.
