Just over half of Canadians say they are $200 away or less from not being able to pay all of their bills at the end of the month amid higher interest rates and inflation.

What I hate is that on top of prices going up, stuff is getting smaller and cheaper quality.

I bought an Ikea shelve recently and compared it to the same model I bought 5 years ago, the wood is visibly thinner and the screws and stuff are now cheap plastic instead of metal.

Food is getting smaller portions, appliances break at nothing and must me changed more often.. it is unsustainable.
