At 52 per cent, that's up six percentage points from the proportion of Canadians who said the same in April
CALGARY — More than half of Canadians say they are $200 away or less from not being able to pay all of their bills at the end of the month, a report by insolvency firm MNP Ltd. said, as higher interest rates and a rising cost of living have stretched budgets.
The report noted that 35 per cent of respondents say they already don't make enough to cover their bills and debt payments, up from 30 per cent in April and a record high for the survey. It also said a record 48 per cent of those surveyed are concerned about their current level of debt. Sixty-nine per cent of those surveyed by MNP said they're feeling the effects of interest rates, and 66 per cent said they're worried about their ability to pay their debts as rates rise, with around three in five respondents expecting to be in financial trouble if rates go up much further.
“This situation forces individuals to make difficult decisions regarding which bills they can prioritize and which they may have to postpone or forgo altogether.”
