Borrowing Money

Approximately 41 per cent of Canadians have borrowed money to assist with the purchase of a big ticket item, while 12 per cent have done so for their day-to-day spending. For each dollar of income, Canadians have nearly a dollar and a half of debt.

The information contained in this section will link Manitobans with resources that will help them make sound decisions about borrowing.
