Anxiety and Financial Problems

In this day and age with people seeking bigger homes, bigger cars, and increased wants with limited increase in salaries over the past couple years, people have maxed out credit cards, second mortgages, personal loans and extended equity credit lines. People are feeling overextended and increasingly anxious.

Dr. Irvin Wolkoff said Thursday of the findings of the report commissioned by Desjardins Financial Security, which sells life and health insurance. "This kind of empty pursuit of money - which is in the end unsatisfying - is generating a tremendous amount of stress, which in turn is producing a lot of anxiety, depression and physical illness," Wolkoff said.

Sustained anxiety can increase risk of heart related illnesses and other physiological concerns. If you are having difficulty managing stress and anxiety due to financial concerns contact us.
