So, if I read your post right, you can either make all your RRSPs spousal or live with that spousal and your regular RRSP.

We’re not planning on divorcing or anything. I am just curious why it can’t be easily done and why it has been made that way. I can’t easily merge it into my or her account. Why is it like this?

I guess I can live with it, it’s just not a huge sum of money, but I wouldn’t want to pay the taxes on it either to just close it.
