Are you feeling overwhelmed by your financial situation but have been putting off doing anything about it? Does debt stress keep you awake at night or create tension in your relationships? Do you feel ashamed or stressed out but don’t know what the first steps are to make effective changes? You are not alone.
In this episode of the BDO Financial Wellness Podcast, we’re uncovering the side of debt that isn’t always talked about — the effect that debt can have on your mental, emotional, and physical health. Debt can result in an increase in stress, which can negatively affect your overall health in many ways. For a closer look at the effects of debt on your health, we turn to Nancy Snedded and Paul Moffett. As BDO Licensed Insolvency Trustees, they are uniquely qualified to advise on the downsides of debt and the mental stresses it causes. Together they highlight the stress associated with debt, the mistakes too many people make when dealing with debt, and the first steps to take when you are ready to make a change.
