Financial Anxiety. Is it a natural reaction to high cost of living and unaffordable housing, or is there more to it? Having often wondered about the relationship between these worries and deeper elements, I sit down for an exploration and draw on a few puzzling inconsistencies in the relationship between this type of worry, and personal circumstances. Why do certain rich people have high financial stress? How come many less fortunate people, don’t seem to be as overwhelmed or complain? How much of this stuff, is ego?
