More than half of Canadians have struggled with financial decisions

If you’ve struggled to make a financial decision or to control your personal finances then you’re not alone.

If you’ve struggled to make a financial decision or to control your personal finances then you’re not alone. A new report by CIBC reveals that 53 per cent of Canadians believe that managing personal finances is more complicated now than it was 20 years ago and 52 per cent have struggled with a financial decision. Three-quarters say they are confident in their overall financial knowledge although two thirds say they could do with more knowledge or advice, however 46 per cent are not planning to seek help this year from a financial adviser.  CIBC’s Christina Kramer says it’s an uncomplicated process that can make a big difference: "Having a quick conversation with an expert can help demystify the possibilities and ensure that you are making the best decisions to meet your personal financial goals and objectives.”
