Canadians are more reliant on debt than ever and the outlook for paying it off any time soon appears bleak.

With the average household estimating a 37 percent wage boost would be necessary to pay off their creditors, it appears a poorly performing economy and nearly a decade of record-low interest rates have taken their toll.
