As interest rates continue to rise, it’s not surprising that many parents are feeling the financial pinch of parenting. According to a survey by PolicyMe Corp., a Toronto-based digital life insurance firm, 70 per cent of parents say Canada is becoming unaffordable, with 47 per cent noting that food is the most expensive and/or challenging child-related spending expense to manage, followed by clothing, shoes and other accessories at 43 per cent.
During the group consultation when the doctor outlined the procedure’s costs, he recalls that some people broke down in tears because they knew they couldn’t afford it.
