“Debt can have a significant effect on our mental well-being. When the constant pressure of financial obligations and the anxiety of meeting payments looms over our heads, it can have an impact on our stress level, sleep and mood. In this article, we’ll examine how debt affects us emotionally, influencing how we behave and how it makes us feel about ourselves. We’ll also connect the dots to what the strain of debt does to us physically. Once we have a better understanding of how it’s all connected, we can explore practical options and strategies that can be helpful to work on reducing and eliminating debt. Taking small steps forward can help us feel a sense of direction again, regain control, and reduce stress to find a better balance between our health and wealth.”
