Are Your Finances Making You Sick?

I often talk about people I meet who have various illnesses and health problems because of the debt and financial stress they are facing. The reason I talk about it is because people often feel isolated and alone, so they hesitate to get advice or find out their options because others will think less of them.

Some of the things I see on a regular basis are depression, insomnia, stomach issues, headaches, and anxiety. I once had someone tell me that she could not remember the last time she slept through the night without waking up in a panic. That kind of stress has a profound effect on your health.

An article in the NY Post this week also talks about this issue. The article has some alarming statistics about consumer debt, which is now over $14 trillion and significantly higher than consumer debt was back in 2008.

The stress also makes people more susceptible to scams and services that are not necessarily the best way to resolve the problem. Make sure you find out all of your options and not just the one the person on the phone is trying to sell you. We talk to people every day who signed up for a service and did not fully understand the long-term consequences, which caused even more stress.

Remember, you are by no means alone in dealing with financial stress. You would be very surprised at the number of people in your everyday life who have the exact same issues and everyone is afraid to talk about it. Your best step is to find out what you can do for your situation and make an informed decision.

This is just a basic overview and is not legal advice specific to your situation. If you have questions about your rights when it comes to debt and credit, you should speak with an attorney in your area for legal advice. If you live in California or North Dakota and would like to speak with Jen Lee Law regarding your situation, please schedule an appointment.
