Debt Stress

It just doesn't sound good, does it? No, it's certainly not something I want to have.

A recent poll shows about 20% of Americans suffer from debt related stress. Here are a few things and article from USA Today pointed out that these people suffer from:

• 44% had migraines or other headaches, compared with 15% with low debt stress.
• 29% suffered severe anxiety, compared with 4%.
• 23% had severe depression, compared with 4%.
• 6% reported heart attacks, double the rate for those with low debt stress.
• More than half, 51%, had muscle tension, including pain in the lower back. That compared with 31% of those with low levels of debt stress.

How about developing a plan to pay off your debt in just 24 months or less and then do it?
