Nowadays, people are losing hope because of this pandemic that destroys so many lives.

Thanks, StrokeLine I'll take that opportunity.

Yes, Lunadawn. We can see how the pandemic destroys people's lives. I hope they will make a vaccine that can permanently eliminate corona virus.

Useful information and I agree. My observations, notwithstanding the stress of stroke/recovery,  the underlying issue is often linked to money issues (loss of income, limited gov support, level of household debt). I read that the average household debt is $500,000! It is easier while interest rates are low, but when/if they start raising, a lot of households can be in trouble! From my experience, Centrelink is a maze! 

Yes, Michael.

Financial problems can really make people stressed. Overtime just to get paid higher while our body is so stressed is actually a fair trade but it gets worst lately.

Some situations that might cause financial stress include losing your job or being retrenched, long-term unemployment, being unable to get full-time work, inability to pay your bills or not being able to deal with the increasing costs of living.

That's why investing our money is the best way to make some income without doing anything!

Hi Avaniterg, you are right regarding ingesting.  Important to know own risk profile! The higher the risk the higher the potential loss! Also, being aware of 'dubious' financial advisors out there.
