Today's, Brandon Blog is titled What
percentage of illnesses are directly or indirectly caused by financial stress?
Financial stress is the most common of all triggers.
Making money is hard.
Keeping the money that you make is even harder.
When people are buried in debt,
they are prone to all kinds of unhealthy behaviours.
In the blog below, Brandon goes into detail about how
financial stress affects your body and the types of illnesses that can be
directly and indirectly caused by financial stress.

video because I know you will find it informative.
Brandon
first goes through an overview of financial stress and its impacts,
especially after the last year and a half with COVID lockdowns.
People are feeling all sorts of stress.
Brandon goes through the impact of stress
on your physical and mental health and mental disorders.
He talks about the kinds of illnesses that can arise because of stress.
He talks about several studies dating back to 2014.
All of those studies
talk about the different kinds of stress and they highlight that financial stress
is the number one stressor amongst all Canadians.
Those studies don't talk about
percentages of illnesses, but they do all agree that financial
stress is the highest amount of stress caused by any factor.
Brandon then goes through
the uncertainty of COVID and how that has
added to everyone's stress and then goes through
his suggestions to solve financial stress and the way to beat it is with careful
planning, budgeting, making sure you don't overspend,
building an emergency cash fund and Brandon down below discusses all of that.
So I hope you can read the entire blog
below because I know you will get value from it again.
