Personal Finance: It’s Complicated.
The millennial generation has made its mark on mainstream culture, but what about when it comes to personal money management? Lack of financial awareness, ease of access to credit (in some cases, not the good kind), under-employment, technological reliance, erosion of the university degree, and a number of other factors have had a significant effect on the value placed on money by this generation and how they manage it.
Consumer debt in Canada has been steadily on the rise, with our debt to income ratio reaching levels never seen before. On average, we have extended ourselves over a dollar and sixty cents for every dollar of income earned in a year. Considering these elements, education around financial advancement and managing consumer debt is more critical than ever before.
