Moreover, constant stress from financial strain can lead to persistent anxiety and interfere with a person’s ability to enjoy life and connect with others. “ People who are made to feel worthless from not having the financial means to meet their and their family’s needs may engage in unhealthful behaviors like drinking alcohol to cope,” says Abeyta.
