Many people don’t realize how managing money issues could lead to weakened immune system which could develop into other health conditions. Studies show that chronic stress can suppress the immune system and we know that debt is a huge source of chronic stress. Money worries may keep you awake at night, which can also impair your body’s ability to fight off infection. It could lead to anxiety, raise your blood pressure and have a risk of heart disease and stroke. It’s been also been linked to depression. Research also shows,  that debt really does have serious impacts on psychological health. It can also be a pain in the neck—literally. Surveys found that people with high levels of “debt stress” are more likely to have muscle tension, neck and back pain, ulcers or digestive tract problems, and suffer heart attacks.
