With interest rates on the rise and record-high inflation rates persisting, nearly half of Canadians say they have lost sleep due to financial stress this year, according to a new poll.

“For the sixth year [in a row], Canadians say money is their top source of stress, with elevated inflation, higher gas prices and cost of groceries causing significant stress,” reads a report based on findings from a Léger survey conducted on behalf of FP Canada—a Toronto-based financial consultancy firm.
