Can money relieve your stress?

Yes and no! Having enough money can relieve stress. When we don't have enough money to care for our needs then we can have a lot of stress. When we have enough money to care for our needs then our stress is reduced. If we give money more attention than we should then we are adding to our stress. Money can only do so much and making it more important than it actually is will add to our stress. 1 Timothy 6:6-10 Today's New International Version (TNIV) 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Hi. Your so right! That is why we have to learn to budget our money. Have you heard of 50-30-20. 50% for our needs, 30% for our wants and 20% for our savings. If we save and save, and die early then we won't be able to enjoy our money. Lol. So, it's better to be able to buy our wants and also save some for our future. It is so much fun to buy want you want for me it relieves stress.

I do believe 0that money can really relieve stress. A person with much money can afford to pay for expensive spa treatment, go shopping, travel and eat expensive delicious food that will surely relieve one's stress.

I think in some cases it can, in some cases it can't. It depends what you are stressed about really!

Many people say that money can't buy as happiness! Yes in deed for me, its really depend on you on how you deal with your shortcomings. It doesn't mean at all that money can relieve our stress. But anyway you have stated also that it can be also the cause for stress. And its a yes for me, because money also can be root of evils.

As the song goes, "money can't buy your happiness" but it can pay your bills :) which causes you happiness. Today, we must admit that money runs the world. We are not living anymore in a barter economy,where you can trade your products to other persons. In other words, everything has price tag.

Stress is an internal psychological condition that we humans fabricate unnecessarily. If money or rather lack of money is causing you stress it is possible that your stress level would go way down if you won the lottery for example. However then you might have stress trying to decide how to spend the money. :-)

for me yes.. whenever i'm stressed from work, what i do is take a break and go out. spend some of my hard-earned money for something that makes me smile. i buy clothes or shoes or just eat whatever i want. i'm only stressed when i'm behind with my bills to be honest hahaha.. i dont have problems with life as i make sure everything is in line with my plans.

I don't believe money can relieved stress. Because money will make people stress. People struggling to find money. People work hard everyday because they want to have plenty of money...people think about money, money and money. Money will people stress...due to the fact that they are always thinking about money. Relax and do something about God. This will relieve your stress...don't think about money. Because money is the reason why you are feeling stress.

I do think that money can get rid of stress, but some times with all the hours that people have to put in can cause more stress than ever.I know that there are people out there that are really stressed as they are having to do all that they can to survive, but no matter what stress can also be a health hazard as it can cause us all to be rather ill and also meaning having time off work through illness.

I agree that money can relieve and cause stress. If that is all you think about and it consumes you then it can be extremely stressful. If you don't have enough money to pay your bills it can also be very stressful. Money is the root of all evil and now we just learned why. It causes STRESS! Lol.

I believe that money is stress reliever. When I don't have money, I feel so stressed. thinking how can I pay our bills. And when I have money, I can go out of time or simply malling. My place is so far from the so simple malling require money.

Surely money can relieve stress. It can relax us and make us all feel better no matter what our problems are. Yes, you're right. It's a source but also can relieve stress.

i definitely think so... i think about that every day... about how much less stress we would have in our lives if we just had some more money...

Like my above commenter said, money can bring stress and cannot as well. I think if others are depending on you like my parents I feel so stressful. I think I could not work anymore harder because of stress. But doing flexible jobs in my case is the solution to the stress. And money can relieve stress by going to movies I can relax for an hour or two forget about the whole thing at office.

Hi averygirl, I too believe so, money does relieve stress !As long as we dont become greedy and obsessed with money, it need not be a source of stress.It is largely in our hands.However there is no denying the fact that money is very essential in making us comfortable and give us a certain amount of happiness...

it is like the adage, the root of evil is not money but the love for money. it is the love for (more) money that can give stress.

When a person gains money, that could relieve stress because that person could think of all the things s/he could buy in the world and what s/he would do with all that money. But as time passes, money becomes the source of stress because s/he might think that its not safe to carry large amounts of money, or the money s/he has could run out or be stolen so s/he has to find a hiding spot/safe for it...I agree with what you say, that it could somehow relieve stress, especially when money is needed the most, but could also be the source of stress, especially for a heavy spender or a businessman or someone who feels insecure with trusting anyone for the money s/he has. In the end, I believe money won't totally help in relieving stress.

Sure - money cannot buy you happiness, but it certainly can make your life a whole lot easier in a lot of ways, and that may help to reduce stress levels and I guess could indirectly lead to happiness!! But as you say, money is a double edged sword because most of the time, it doesn't come easy. In order to get the kind of money you need to solve your problems, you often have to put additional stresses on yourself. So its kind of a toss up of the benefits vs the risks of having to work for your money!

money can relive stress upto some extent bt actual stress is relived by only ture love..
