Poverty comes with higher stress and poorer health outcomes because of stress. The fear of breaking a plate to the fear of wet socks. It’s all very real.

I know I’ve noticed it in myself. I’ve always had pets. And when I was poor I’d stress out over their natural behavior. Hey don’t do that, cause I couldn’t afford to pay extra for broken blinds, throw up on carpet etc . And after I was more monetary well off. I just shrugged things like that off as them being themselves.
