PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — As our country battles inflation, many people are experiencing the increased stress that can come from growing expenses.
A significant percentage of people are still experiencing a sense of malaise as a result of 2.5 years of COVID-19 and the disruption it has caused in so many ways. There is no doubt that there is an impact over time.
Over the past few months, another issue has come up: increased costs for food, gas and clothing. With inflation comes financial concerns. And in many relationships, money issues can lead to increased tension. So how do you diffuse it?
Talk about it. It sounds simple, but you need to realize that you are far from alone and, in most cases, not responsible for the added pressures. The key is to not face it alone. With conversation can come support.
