Financial stressors are things that make it harder to save money or spend it wisely, like when you have too many candies and not enough time to eat them all.
Imagine you have a piggy bank where you keep your allowance. Now, financial stressors are like extra chores or unexpected guests showing up at your birthday party, they take away from the fun (or the money) you were expecting.
When You Have Too Many Things to Do
Sometimes, you might get a new toy, but then you also have homework, a soccer game, and maybe even a little brother who needs help with his math. These are like financial stressors, they take up your time and energy, making it harder to save your allowance for something really special.
When You Get Surprises
Other times, you might be counting on getting $5 from your dad every week, but then he says he can only give you $3 this week because he had a bad day at work. That’s also a financial stressor, it’s like having fewer candies than you thought, and now you have to think about how to stretch them out.
Financial stressors don’t always mean you don’t have money, sometimes they just mean things are a little more tricky than usual.
Examples
- Worrying about paying rent every month
- Being unable to save for emergencies due to constant spending
