Economy Stressing More Of Us Out...

...Especially Women, Survey Shows; Expert Offers Coping Tips

(CBS)  A new survey by the American Psychological Association finds eight out of ten Americans saying they feel stress because of the economy, up from 66 percent in April.

And women report feeling more stress about the economy than men. According to the APA, "More women say they are stressed about money (83 percent vs. 78 percent), the economy (84 percent vs. 75 percent), job stability (57 percent vs. 55 percent), housing costs (66 percent vs. 58 percent) and health problems affecting their families (70 percent vs. 63 percent)."

The APA's executive director, Dr. Katherine Nordal, told Early Show co-anchor Julie Chen Tuesday part of it may simply be that women tend to be more open about their feelings than men.

Nordal, who was in New York, addressed questions from two small business owners who were in the audience in Belmont Mansion, on the campus of Belmont University in Nashville, sight of Tuesday night's presidential debate:

WOW There are certainly some women haters on here. Let''''s see I have been married for forty years and make a lot more money than my husband. I guess some of you men made bad choices in women. Definitely the women in your life made poor choices in the men they hooked up with.

I am very comfortable with my misogyny. I love telling stories about it. Women can certainly pretend they are not as shallow financially as men are $exually. Some guys might be dumb enough to believe that. Now I am in a strong position to tease women financially the way they teased me $sexually 25 years ago. And it is so much FUN.

Just relax & visualise the 15 to 20 thou a year for 10 years that the rich got in their tax cuts-not all are stressed.

Think of the wonderful executive parties,the fabulous Bush wedding-their is still great pleasure in the world-FOR SOME!That should cheer up those not fully brainwashed.

I''m really stressed about the economy and this election. We need to vote for stability and experience. see PitbullPalin.org to show your vote.

Remember that TV show, "The Waltons?"

Remember Grandma and Grampa living with their grandchildren?

Yah, THAT WILL BE US from now on.

THANKS CONGRESS for making us ALL the Waltons.

Good night, Erin. Good night, John Boy...

A matter of perspective.

I always thought the Walton grandchildren were living with the grandparents.

The grandfather built the home on Walton''s Mountain and raised his children who raised their children. I guess the idea is that once you have raised your children the idea is to hurry up and die so the children can inherit your money.

So, what has happened to society in the last 30 years where living like the Waltons has become a bad thing?

[txgrouch2006]

We all know you do.

[txgrouch2006]

WOOO WOOOOOOOOOOoooooo!

C''mon girls! It''s not too late. Get on board the HATE TRAIN!!

You go, girl! You tell''em how much you HATE MEN!!!

[txgrouch2006]

Not all of us are like that. And if you choose one like that, it''''s your own damned fault!

WOO WOO! Chug chug chug chug. The HATE TRAIN is picking up speed...

Naww, you''re not ALL like that. Some of you are LIARS.

[txgrouch2006]

Definitely the women in your life made poor choices in the men they hooked up with.

WHOOP, THERE IT IS! The HATE TRAIN just left the station...

It''s a good time to be poor. Pity the poor Bushit Billionaires!

But the McCains are safe--people drink more beer when they''re depressed, and that means big bux for the person who wears the pants in the McCain family--Cindy.

John is pussywhipped.

The bailout with no accountability for the rich who made a fortune at the middle classes expense is unacceptable. I hope the government goes after them all and throws them in prison with the Enron gang.

Remember Republicans that George W was a close friend of Kenny Lay''s. Also remember that Cheney''s Halliburton has robbed us blind. I hope we all remember those things when we vote in November.

When you see a woman who looks anxious, it''s because she''s afraid her boyfriend/husband isn''t giving her all his money FAST ENOUGH.

txgrouch...you''re pathetic. Not all of us are like that. And if you choose one like that, it''s your own damned fault!

Vote out the incumbents in Washington in the upcoming election and who voted to pass this bill, I will.
Posted by tibu987 at 07:39 PM : Oct 07, 2008

Yes! Vote them ALL out.

[tibu987]

And why shouldn''t the middle and lower class be stressed out?

The "bailout" is on their backs, it is who are going to pay for it. Now, the money will be given to the very people who created this disgraceful economic situtation. That those people will have the power to distribute those $700 billion dollars stresses me out even further.

It is the middle and lower economic class that will paying for this for decades while the rich who caused it laugh their way to the bank.

Like Richard Fuld who took $480 million home knowing that the bubble was about to burst and that thousands upon thousands of retirees would lose most of their retirement money.

Or, those at Goldman Sachs who took tens of millions and even a spa retreat to the tune of $400,000 while they knew the company was on the slide down.

If you don''t see something wrong here, you are part of the problem.

Stressed, you betcha.
Angry, you betcha.

Vote out the incumbents in Washington in the upcoming election and who voted to pass this bill, I will.

What a dumb story. Why not state the obvious and call it news. Of course we are all stressed out about the economy. The murder/suicides have already started.

[babooph]

Look at how little energy will be used& NO MORE PAPERWORK!!Just like a Somali.

[babooph]

Wiht no job,no food, no utilities,no school $,no health care-they won''t be stressed for long-the problem will take care of itself.

[suefeauto]

Ok Americans shake it off and get back in the game. Ready, set, go, INVEST!!!!

[txgrouch2006]

Yes, women are more stressed by the economy. That''s because ALL they care about is money, money, money.

When you see a woman who looks anxious, it''s because she''s afraid her boyfriend/husband isn''t giving her all his money FAST ENOUGH.
