There is an ancient proverb that says, “The borrower is slave to the lender.” On average each Canadian has over $73,000 of debt, and the average household owes $1.71 for every dollar of income. Studies show that having this kind of debt can have serious effects on us, including mental, emotional and physical health difficulties, relational strain, and financial bankruptcy. What can we do to deal with our debt? Is there a way out? Many of us would like to better manage what we have and be more generous with others. We’d like to give more to charitable causes and invest more in things that matter. But so many of us feel the oppression of debilitating debt that traps us, holds us captive and stands in the way. Is there a better way? How can we be free? How can we truly experience financial freedom?
