Financial stress is a terrible thing to go through, if you are struggling financially you probably know what I’m talking about when you’re stressed financially everything will go wrong.  Stress as a whole is not very good in a person’s life, it will affect your health, family, work, mind, etc. I have seen many families being destroyed because of money, some homes get destroyed when the man of the house is not making enough money to carter for the whole family then there will  discord in the home, before you know it both party will find their ways, and the kids will be the ones to suffer it.

What about health? Stress causes sicknesses in the body. When you are under financial stress you can’t think straight, every one of your thoughts will be centered around money, it will be like the more you run after money the further it runs from you.

Anytime you think about the bills that are due at the end of the month your heart beat so fast, your brain starts thinking about how to get money to pay those bills. You are so tired of asking people for money and you’re so tired of paying them back at the end of each month.

Financial Freedom is attainable only to those who are willing to go extra miles.
