Carnie’s Comments<\/p>\n
It’s that time of year – income tax season. It’s time to get the paper work together.<\/p>\n
49% of Canadians are feeling positive about personal finances but, 47% say they’re feeling negative and 49% believe they “won’t achieve financial success no matter what they do”.<\/p>\n
This is according to the RBC Financial Flexibility Poll: 2026 Edition.<\/p>\n
You won’t be surprised to learn for the majority of us, “everyday costs are a shared barrier to achieving financial goals”.<\/p>\n
The poll found 49% of adults feel “resilient, optimistic, hopeful or unconcerned about their personal finances, almost as many (47%) feel exhausted, apprehensive, anxious or frustrated.”<\/p>\n
And so, it’s interesting to note, the new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit will help an estimated 30% of Canadians.<\/p>\n
There’s a big gap there.<\/p>\n
Somebody tell the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n
