Posthaste: Cash-strapped Canadians have run their credit card debt up to a record high, survey shows
Financial Post Top Stories
Equifax Canada’s consumer survey out today found that the average credit card balance has now reached a record high of $2,121. Gains in household wealth over the past year have been erased, the agency said, with average net worth sinking by $65,400 or 6.5 per cent, in the second quarter from the quarter before.
The Equifax survey shows that Canadians’ anxiety over their finances is growing. Fifty-three per cent said they had a lot of anxiety over their level of debt and only half said they felt comfortable with their personal economic outlook, down from 61 per cent last year.Article content
