Inflation and Debt

Everything has gotten more expensive lately, from groceries to gas to interest rates. If you’re struggling with the rising cost of inflation and have taken on debt to stay afloat, you’re not alone; according to Bloomberg, the average Canadian now carries over $20,000 of debt. Over 25 percent of Canadians taking out mortgages are already indebted at a time when the interest rates on mortgages keep rising.  Between the lingering impacts of the pandemic and the current world issues, inflation has risen to a record high, passing 6.8% in April, with food prices alone going up by 7.7%.  Inflation & DebtBanks intend to keep raising interest rates, leading to cash flow issues that cause more debt problems.
