\t\t\t\tHere at Creditaid, we believe in giving you the tools that will help you manage your finances.
\nSo when we learned that the Federal government has issued a financial toolkit, we just had to
\nshare the news with you. The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, the Investor Education
\nFund and l’Autorite des marches financiers, teamed up with the government to produce the
\ntoolkit, which aims to help Canadians better understand their daily finances.<\/p>\n
The move was sparked bystartling figures, showing that an average household debt of
\n152 percent of disposable income is pushing many Canadians into the red. An effort to
\nreinvigorate the economy, through low interest rates, is one of the factors contributing to so
\nmany Canadians suddenly finding themselves in debt. The Bank of Canada, backed by the
\nfinance minister, had also voiced concerns about overspending, leading up to the introduction
\nof the financial toolkit.<\/p>\n
The toolkit itself is available both online and in printed form. Worksheets, quizzes, videos
\nand questionnaires will help you understand and manage your finances. The skills that you
\nacquire from using this toolkit will not only help you with your current spending, but will
\ngive you the tools you need to ensure you keep on the right track in your future spending.
\nThis is certainly welcome news in these tough economic times, and we hope you find the
\ntoolkit as useful as we have.<\/p>\n
