After meeting with his advisor Monica, Tom agrees to apply for a $50,000 whole life insurance policy. Monica tells him that the monthly premium will be $40 per month. Monica is advised by underwriting that Tom qualifies for an additional $10,000 critical illness rider, and that the new premium would be $50 per month. Monica advises underwriting that Tom accepts the additional coverage without speaking with him first, because it is such a good deal and great coverage, he won’t mind. When Tom finds out what she has accepted on his behalf, without his knowledge, he is upset and wants to lodge a complaint to someone other than the insurance company and Monica; he wants to speak with an independent third party. He finds the contact information for the local regulatory authority. What are some of the responsibilities the regulatory authority has in protecting clients like Tom?
Davy, who just turned 55, intends to retire 10 years from now. Together with his life insurance agent, he determines that he will need to have approximately $200,000 in RRSPs when he reaches age 65 in order to retire comfortably. He feels confident that his current RRSP account can generate a return of 3% per year on average for the next 10 years.

He therefore wonders whether his RRSP account currently has sufficient funds for him to meet his retirement goal in 10 years.
What is the minimum RRSP account balance needed now for Davy to meet his goal? (Round to the nearest dollar.)
