这是为什么我不愿意去其他网站的主要原因。很多人都是拍脑袋,想当然说话,从来就不去找些数据来证明自己 ...
给老蛇来点安慰剂。。。

We all hear that the debt-to-income ratio is sky-high. CIBC economist Benjamin Tal jokes that it should be part of the citizenship test.
Question: what is Canada’s most alarming financial statistic? Answer: the debt-to-income ratio, now hovering near a record high of 177. That means Canadians owe $1.77 for every dollar of disposable income. The ratio is generally higher for people in low-income brackets. More than $2 trillion in total.
But the ratio has just edged up over the years, not skyrocketed, Tal notes. It took almost 10 years for the ratio to rise from 145 per cent to today’s 177 per cent. And he points out that a main reason for the increase is stagnant wages — and not because Canadians are frivolous borrowers.
Still, there’s no doubt the debt mountain is high. But other indicators say we can handle it.
For one, we generally spend our borrowed money wisely. |
