Americans are stressed out.
People are plagued by financial anxiety, according to the results of an annual poll of 1,004 adultsconducted by the American Psychiatric Association released Monday.
This year’s national anxiety score — derived by mean scores on a scale of zero to 100 — is 51, a five-point jump since 2017. Two-thirds of respondents said they were extremely or somewhat anxious about paying their bills or expenses. Last year, 56 percent of people reported financial worries.
But some people are more worried than others about finances. Women are more anxious than men and also had a greater increase in anxiety than men this year compared to last year. More than half (57 percent) of women 18 to 49 years of age reported being more anxious this year, compared to 38 percent of men in that age group.
Nearly four in five Hispanic adults reported concerns about paying the bills, as did three-quarters of women and young adults (ages 18 to 34).

But yet you lazy people keep on letting them raise taxes and fees and eventual, you won't be able to pay bills and you will lose what you have!!!! but oh well it doesn't affect you currently so why worry about it right????
ReplyDeleteI stress on this every year. I pay property taxes, insurance on my home and both my cars and the rates keeps going up each year. It's getting to a point where I will need to find a second job just to pay for all of this.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's not counting the income tax, registration fees, landfill fees, countless other hidden taxes and fees on everything!
Exactly insurance is a overinflated scam..you pay and they play, taxes on top of taxes are a huge burden to workers, so many people don't see the value of working when government takes so much, it's easier to be on welfare and watch tv.
