The Debt Trap: Is Hard Work Enough in Today's Economy?

In a recent video posted online, Vancouver realtor and graphic designer Neil (GrumpyChineseGuy🇨🇦🇨🇳) discusses the financial challenges facing many people today. He argues that even with hard work, rising costs of living—rent, groceries, medical bills—are creating a "debt trap." Neil points out, "You probably work harder than your parents ever did, but life keeps getting more expensive." He contends that this is a systemic problem, not a matter of personal responsibility. The video has garnered significant attention, with over 1500 views in less than an hour. While Neil's assertions require further investigation, his video highlights a growing concern shared by many.
