There’s no denying it, many Canadians are currently experiencing financial distress. According to Statistics Canada, the household debt in Canada is at the highest level even when measured as a portion of disposable income in 2015’s second quarter. The ratio of household credit market debt to disposable income rose from 163% in Q1 to 164.6% in Q2. This means that for every dollar of disposable income households brought in, they owed almost $1.65.
