We are continually on the watch for news about Canadian consumer debt and the impacts of certain market conditions such as interest rates and a booming housing market. This week is no different.

Last week, the Huffington Post released this alarming article regarding debt levels, entitled “Canadian Debt Levels Would Crush Them If They Were $200 Higher Per Month: Survey.” Discussed within the article is a survey done by consumer insolvency firm MNP Ltd.

The survey results leave much to be desired. According to the responses of the over 1500 Canadians, 56% said they are only a couple hundred dollars from a debt crisis.

Another 52% said they are worried about their current debt levels, while half of the individuals surveyed said that they regretted owing so much money. An additional 38% said raising interest rates could leave them on the verge of bankruptcy.
