    Thumbs down Savings rates in Cdn. & States way down

    Ten years ago, savings rates in Canada were at 20% of income and 10% for the States. Canadians have always been known as savers.

    This past year, savings rates for both Canada and the States were exactly the same, 2% of income.

    Why do you think that is?

    The economy has made it too difficult for people to save.
