 I'm sure in the present economic climate there will be more than a few people dreading 2009. The recession has seen the closure of many companies and thousands of families have seen their source of income diminish.
Not surprisingly people are worried. Infact, statistics have revealed most people spend an average of 2hrs 15 minutes every day fretting, which amounts to 34 days every year worrying. Quite how they got those statistics is beyond me especially as 40% of people don't even tell anyone they're worrying.
However, at the beginning of 2008 people were most concerned about knife crime, global warming and buying a property. Now, at the beginning of 2009, the top six concerns relate to finance - or rather, lack of finance according to a website where people can go and discuss their worries in secret.
If you've never heard the expression "A problem shared is a problem halved", I recommend you take note now and if you find yourself worried about something but feel you can't admit it to your nearest and dearest, please find some |
