A report by insolvency firm MNP says 52 per cent 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 as higher interest rates and a rising cost of living have stretched budgets.

The report says 35 per cent of those asked 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 says a record 48 per cent of those surveyed are concerned about their current level of debt.

    I don’t understand. How are half of Canadians that close to not paying their bills yet my store is full of people buying tons of booze every day. I think this isn’t the full picture
