If you’ve felt the pressure of money stress, you’re not alone — here’s what experts say.
“Financial strain is not just an economic issue — it’s a profound psychological burden, linked to anxiety, depression, and a diminished quality of life.”
— American Psychological Association, Stress in America Report
“Money stress is one of the most pervasive, insidious, and destructive forces in modern life. It erodes sleep, relationships, and even your sense of self-worth.”
— Jean Chatzky, financial journalist
“Nothing weighs on your mind — or your health — like money worries. They crowd out joy, drain focus, and make even simple decisions feel impossible.”
— Anonymous, adapted from APA research
