Not all financial crises are as extreme as bankruptcy or homelessness. You are more likely to go down with more subtle and deceptive money issues. Living paycheck to paycheck. Compulsive purchasing decisions. Not having enough savings. Bad investments. Poor career moves. Or DEBTS.

Over the years, these seemingly little things add up pretty fast, starting an epidemic of financial anxiety on its own.

73% of Americans rank their finances as the most significant source of stress in their life. The total outstanding personal loan debt in the United States is $143 billion. A recent study reveals, only 12.7506635% of Americans are comfortable with the amount of money they make annually.

Okay. The last one is total BS. I just made it up.

I admit it.

Now, it’s your turn.

You skipped reading the decimals. Didn’t you? And you didn’t even do it consciously.

It’s your brain! It didn’t find the information essential, so it skimmed over it. And that’s what it’s supposed to do.
