Lately, I’ve noticed more and more people in B.C. taking on side hustles—and the numbers back this up. Nearly half of local residents (49%) are picking up extra work, while over half worry about job security and career prospects as economic uncertainty lingers. It’s not just about the headlines; almost 40% of folks are feeling financial pressure every month, and 30% are concerned about job loss leading to debt. On a positive note, 13% are actively learning new skills to stay ahead.
As someone who’s dedicated to helping Surrey families, business owners, and individuals plan for the future, these trends remind me how important it is to have a clear, personalized financial strategy. Financial peace of mind is possible—even in uncertain times. If you’ve thought about ways to strengthen your financial foundation, know that you’re not alone.
