Have you ever bought something just because your favourite influencer swore by it? 🤳🛍️

You’re not alone. In fact, 60% of Canadians have bought at least one product they saw on social media in the past year, and 57% say social media influenced them to buy something they wouldn’t have otherwise.

Social media can be a great source of inspiration, but when you’ve followed someone for months or years, it can be easy to forget that influencing is a business and product recommendations are part of the job.

Want to see how social media may be affecting your spending habits? Check out our latest survey to learn how influencer culture is impacting Canadians’ purchasing decisions: https://grantthorntonlimited.ca/en/debt-help-resources/articles/article-influenced-into-debt-how-social-media-impacts-canadians-finances

Talking about money is important, but that doesn’t mean you need to share your personal financial situation with everyone. 🌎

If you’re dealing with overwhelming debt, you might worry about who will find out. While insolvency filings are public record, generally, only your creditors and any cosigners or guarantors of your debt are notified if you file a consumer proposal or bankruptcy.

A consumer proposal could help you reduce what you owe and get back on track. Learn more about how a consumer proposal works and whether it could be the right solution for you:
