We’ve all stressed about money at some point or other. Though you might be surprised how unhealthy money related stress can be. Debt-induced anxiety has been found to cause ulcers, migraines, back pain, depression, and heart attacks. Science is showing that these troubling symptoms are rooted in perfectly normal biological responses gone awry. We are designed to undergo temporary stress in fight-or-flight situations, though we weren’t built for constant anxiety. Debt can trigger this fight-or-flight reaction, thereby inducing stress. Sadly, debt usually sticks around a lot longer than a bear attack or fire-fight, so stress related to debt can be near-constant. This ever-present anxiety can wreak havoc upon one’s health and quality of life.
Bankruptcy can be a great step in the way of reducing money-related stress. Knocking out debt can really take a burden off your shoulders. Though this is only the first step in the direction of wise-money management. You need to do a budget and get in the habit of saving money if you ever want to experience financial peace. If you don’t take these next steps, you’ll probably end up right back in the same stressful financial situation.
