More than a third of Canadians surveyed say not having enough money actually keeps them awake at night, finds a poll by Leger for PC Financial.
More than half (54%) of the 1,578 people surveyed online believe that between $2,000 and six-months’ salary is an appropriate nest egg; but 29% have this much in their personal savings, while 38% have less than $2,000.
