Health ON YOUR F ind a penny. Pick it up. All day long, you’ll have good luck. If only managing our ﬁnances were this simple. But for many of us, paying the bills can bring stress—stress that can wreak havoc on our relationships, our home life and our health. Even though the economy appears to be looking up, that hasn’t eased the burden for most of us. So, if money is a point of stress for you, you can take solace in knowing that 75 percent of Americans share your concerns, according to the American Psychological Association’s 2011 Stress in America survey. The negative health effects of stress are well documented. High blood pressure, problems with digestion, trouble sleeping, headaches, depression and more can accompany stress. Sure, you can’t control some things. Unexpected expenses—cars break down, kids need braces, major appliances give out—are going to happen. But there are things you can do to manage your money and your health at the same time. > BY STEPHANIE R. CONNER Vim & Vigor · WI NTER 2012 43
