    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Stephanie Finlayson of Woodstock, Ont., had been going over her monthly budget, trying to find a way to cover costs from food and insurance to fixing or replacing her 2005 Honda Accord.

    After running some numbers and having a conversation with her father about her financial situation, Finlayson put the phone on the dash and pushed record.

    After fixed expenses including her cellphone, heat, gas and insurance, there’s no money left for extras.

    She made $21 an hour in customer service and logistics support for a heating, ventilation and air conditioning company.

    Since the pandemic, however, rising costs for everyday goods are taking a deeper gouge out of her monthly earnings.

    Meanwhile, to keep her Honda running, Finlayson said she has to travel with a jug of coolant and top up the radiator along the way to keep it from overheating.
