Canadians Dream: “We want it all”

According to a recent survey we hope and dream for financial stability one day.

We want to own a home.

We want to travel.

We want to retire early.

Meanwhile, back at the bank, our personal debt is going through the roof.

By ‘our’ I mean Canada’s, Ontario’s, many of our households’.

In other words, we dream of financial stability while spending ourselves silly.

We want it all without realizing we can’t possibly afford it all.

Predictions: We’ll keep on dreaming.

We won’t live under or within our means until difficult circumstances, e.g., another recession or two or three, trains us to be more accountable, responsible or realistic.

We may soon be too tired to hold onto our hats.
