On today’s show Ted Michalos and Doug Hoyes discuss the just released Hoyes Michalos study: Joe Debtor: Marginalized by Debt. Canadians do not appear to be worried about high debt levels.  Interest rates are at record lows, and bankruptcy rates have declined for the last five years. Unfortunately that obscures the fact that at risk groups, including seniors, single parents and people with student loans, don’t qualify for traditional low cost borrowing options, so they turn to payday loans, quick cash installment loans, and other high interest crippling forms of debt.   Doug and Ted discuss the results, and explain how to recognize the warning signs of excessive debt.
