Debt and Health
I've read that money worries can affect your physical and mental
health. Is that true?
e impact of money troubles can be overwhelming on an individual 's
physical and mental health. Concerns regarding finances, debt, or a lack of
resources can trigger stress, anxiety, and depression. If you are feeling out
of sorts because of money concerns, see if these suggestions help. If not, you
may want to see a medical professional.
• ink about your relationship with money. What habits are
serving you well, and which ones are causing you stress? Once you've
pinpointed your triggers, make a plan to tackle them head-on.
• Keep your budget in check. Know when bills are due and pay them
on time. If you hit a rough patch, don't hesitate to reach out to your
creditors for help. And remember, spending on things you want rather
than need can lead to stress if not managed properly.
• Take time to understand yourself. Download your thoughts in a
budget planner, journal, or your phone. e more you know, the more
control you'll have over any financial stress that tries to creep in.
• Finally, talk to someone. Redstone has accredited financial
