The economy is an extremely important part of life. The economy does not only affect money and what we can buy but it ultimately affects everything else in our lives like our self esteem and our relationships. Besides the obvious strains that money can put on relationships there are other indircet affects that factor into the overall outcome of a failing economy. Such as personal well being. If any given person is under stress about bills their overall well being will suffer because of the strain of finances.
If their well being is suffering this could include their level of happiness, their security in their future, their self- worth, and their ability to cope with other daily problems and issues. This could result in depression, missplaced anger and frustration which could both create problems with how they deal with their friends and family ESPECIALLY their spouses. This could result in increased bickering with those closest to us which will ironically only increase stress as it weakens some of our most important relationships. This type of a problem can snowball into a failed relationship, divorce, conflict at work depression, and all sorts of other problems that will only increase our levels of stress. Monetary burden should be taken seriously as it is vital to the rest of our existence. This is not to say that money is the only important thing but it should definitely be spent in moderation, after all most of the average American's debt is accumulated as a result of luxury purchases.
Remeber that the economic state that we are in is responsible for a lot that we are dealing with, so the next time you are feeling a little snappy and aggravated take a moment to reflect and make sure that you are reacting appropriately to the situation and not actually on edge about your finances.
So until next time; before you react harshly take a moment to think things through when dealing those closest to you in this difficult times.
Talk to you soon!!!
