Financial Stress and Your Health

Wednesday August 6, 2008
It's hard to turn on the news these days without hearing something scary or depressing about money: the economy is in a downturn, gas prices are still too high, and many people are losing jobs. Trisha Torrey, one of my fellow About.com Guides also makes the case (and backs it up with research) that financial problems impact your health in significant ways. Read about it here.)

We've been discussing money stress in this site, and I'd love to hear about how money woes are affecting you, or how you've been dealing with financial stress. Visit the Stress Management Forum and join the conversation!

While the news media talks about the stress that today’s economic crisis is causing for people it mostly focuses on the financial recovery and seldom explores how to navigate the emotional impact that moving through a financial crisis has on people. Our site creditheart.com offers the CreditHeart Community Rocky Road Guide that has a whole section devoted to this topic offered at the low stress price of $5.55. It has real life
advice on how to reduce stress and open up
new ways to to think about, look at, and move through your financial crises.
