We normally record Debt Free in 30 weeks in advance, but today, given the rapidly changing situation, we decided to record a special COVID-19 episode.  We discuss what is happening right now (all 22 Hoyes Michalos offices are closed for in person meetings, but our full team is available by phone and video conference), how COVID-19 will impact the finances of Canadians (“public facing” workers for small businesses will be hardest hit), we predict how this will impact the number of bankruptcy filings, we give our practical advice for dealing with collection calls, and we end the show with why, after we get through the next few months, we are optimistic for the future.
