Money stress is the worst stress. It’s pervasive. It overwhelms people. It eats away at them. I’ve been in a lucky position of doing this for decades now, and I’ve seen what’s happened when people have straightened out their finances. Instead of missing the things they were overspending on, they’ve become much happier. Much less stressed .

Research shows that money stress is the number one source of stress. All different demographics. It’s higher than work stress or health stress or relationship stress. So it can cause physical health problems. It can cause mental health problems like stress and anxiety.

It’s interesting all the research talking about how money stress compounds the other stresses. And so when you have true relationship stress, if you’re also dealing with money stress, it makes the relationship stress much worse. Now I think that’s kind of common sense. We intuitively would go, yeah, I agree with that, but I don’t think we step back and think, wow, that’s actually a very important point, that if I can get my finances under control, a lot of my other stresses will seem less large. I’ll be able to tackle them more efficiently, et cetera, et cetera.
