Lower Income May Mean Higher Stress

A recent study by Health Day News found that lower socioeconomic status usually attributes to higher stress. DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!! For those of us that have been (or currently in) living check to check or living below the poverty line, know this study is nothing new.

The study included 193 adults with annual incomes ranging from $2,500 to $162,500. The lower the income, the higher the stress.

My question now becomes WHO PAY THESE PEOPLE FOR THESE STUDIES. The people near the poverty line are frequently worrying about how they are going to eat, pay rent, and live in general. They also receive no respect from the local and federal governments (see NEW ORLEANS). They receive no respect from the local school systems.

To the researchers at the Health Day News, I want my subscription money back (LOL).

DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
