Module11Borrowing Money

Most Canadians will have to borrow money at some point in their lives. Borrowing money can help you in times of need or trouble. For example, it can help with large purchases (car, house, education, etc.) and manage your monthly cash flow (e.g. combining past debts into a consolidation loan). Managing your debt(s) effectively, setting your own debt limits for what you know you can afford, and maintaining a good credit rating are all skills that are important to helping you stay in control and not getting over-indebted or over-whelmed by debt.
