Albertans have highest consumer debt, worry less about interest: survey

Albertans fuss more over debt than the interest on it, a new poll shows.
But as they age, interest becomes more of a concern, says the debt awareness survey, a Leger poll of 1,517 Canadians sponsored by Credit Canada.
Half of Albertans polled said debt principal is more worrisome than the interest.
Albertans continue to carry the highest average consumer debt in the country — excluding mortgage debt — at $28,155, the survey found.
