Entering RRSP Transaction in GnuCash

[Alice Lee]

The investment income is not income until it is realized, which would be at
the time it is received.  That would just be debit to the bank and a credit
to income after the deferred income account is zeroed.  Establishing the
deferred income account just lets one keep track of how much the employer
has contributed during employment.

Well you might as well look ahead

As time goes by, the contributions, either by yourself or your employer,
will be only a fraction of the total value of the fund. How do you plan to
treat the investment income the fund earns? (it is also tax deferred).

If the employer contributions are not immediately vested, how do you plan to
account for that as more and more becomes vested over time?
