In today’s economic climate, there simply is no denying the facts. Canadians are struggling and the near future isn’t looking too bright. In fact, in a recent MNP Consumer Debt Sentiment Survey, 56 percent of Canadians said they would be financially devastated if their monthly income was depleted by just $200. With a weakened loonie, an ever-increasing cost-of-living and unemployment rolling through several Canadian provinces, that $200 shift isn’t too far away for many.
