John Eisener, the President of Credit Counselling Services for Atlantic Canada, tells CHSJ News the average debt loads of the people who are coming into his office for held are anywhere from 26 to 28 thousand dollars.
He says if you made minimum payments each month, it would take you from 20 to 30 years to pay it all off.
Eisener says the rising cost of living is putting a strain on households and if your finances are causing you to lose sleep at night or arguments at home then you need some help to get out of the hole.
