"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).

I am shocked, I tell you, shocked, that low income people are more stressed about money than higher income people.

In other news, the animals in zoos near where Call It Crazy lives are the most stressed about being raped.

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, when the survey began.

when the Second Great Depression began.

OK, now article is correct.

I'm shocked too. I always thought the poor sleep better because they don't fear losing all their money. I guess those were the good old days where the rich stashed their loot under the mattress, where no one would think of looking.

Why, are you coming for a visit with your girlfriend?

Your daughter's back in town? Guess that explains all the Johns lined up around the block.

Yes, fucking anything related to Call It Crazy would be disgusting.

Is this PatNetFeud necessary? Or fun?

11   Dan8267   2015 Feb 5, 2:32pm  

PatNet is solely for tolling, porn, and plotting Kim Jong-un's assassination.

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.
