Will You Struggle if Your Mortgage Payments Grew Slightly
While most Canadians are enjoying the benefit of Cheap Mortgages - the stats from a recent survey (of 2372 people between ages of 20 and 59 with a household income of no less than $50k/annually) completed by the folks at Manulife* showed that many people would be IN TROUBLE if their monthly mortgage payments grew...even slightly.
The number was around 33% of home-owners that carry a mortgage would endure financial hardship if their mortgage payments were to increase by a mere 10%.
Of those people - around 15% said they couldn't handle ANY increase at all to their mortgage payments.
I got news for you folks...INTEREST RATES ARE GOING TO RISE!! It's inevitable.
It's time to start being a little more sensitive to all those "EXTRA" expenses. You know...like the new boat, the RV, the new cars, etc...
The "low interest rate" ride is coming to an end - and it's going to be a shocking turn of events when it happens.
Consider the report discovered that the average homeowner in Canada is carrying around $190k in mortgage debt...and even higher for folks in Alberta ($243k), and BC (217k), and Manitoba and SK (197k)
The question then is, when the rates rise - will you be ready?
