Debt can have a significant effect on our mental well-being. When the constant pressure of financial obligations and the anxiety of meeting payments looms over our heads, it can have an impact on our stress level, sleep and mood. It’s a burden that can even affect our self-esteem, making us feel insecure, inadequate, and helpless.
Also, being aware of how debt affects us emotionally, influencing how we behave and how it makes us feel about ourselves, and even its possible physical impact on us, we can explore practical options and strategies that can be helpful to work on reducing and eliminating debt.
