Moreover, low-income households are increasingly more stressed about money than those with higher-incomes,
Duh!
I am shocked, I tell you, shocked, that low income people are more stressed about money than higher income people.
What stats do they have to back this up? Seems like conjecture to me.

That sounds pretty bad, and (spoiler!) it is. But the APA’s 2015 Stress in America report shows Americans are actually less worried about money than we’ve been at any time since 2007,

To be fair, it is not surprising that some high-income people get very stressed about money.

Another sad attempt at humor by Call It Crazy. Just accept it. Ultra-conservatives have no sense of humor and lack the intelligence to learn the subject as evident by CIC's many failed attempts.

"Feeling anxious about money? You’re not alone. A new survey shows most Americans are at least somewhat stressed out by financial concerns. Moreover, low-income households are increasingly more stressed about money than those with higher-incomes, creating a “stress gap” between rich and poor
The survey, conducted by American Psychological Association in August 2014, found a whopping 72% of Americans said they felt stressed out about money at some time during the past month, including 22% who said they experienced “extreme stress” during the previous 30 days (rating their stress as an 8, 9, or 10 on a 10-point scale). A large majority of respondents—64%—also said money is a somewhat or very significant source of stress in their lives, with young adults and Gen Xers reporting financial stress in even larger numbers..."
