Financial stress can severely impact on a person’s mental health
Sometimes financial worries can seem overwhelming and can cause extreme stress and anxiety. In a relationship, financial stress and hardship can place extra pressure on the relationship and cause arguments.
The following signs are often found in connection with financial stress:
