Would you believe that a disorganized home is creating stress for American families today?
Many of us minimize the impact of stress on our health and well-being. Home organization, it turns out is a major source of stress for American families. The Huffington Post reports that “home organization was as much of a stress trigger for recently-stressed Americans as:
- unexpected expenses (also 47 percent),
- not having enough time for loved ones (46 percent), and
- not having enough time to yourself (45 percent). “
When it comes to managing the household and finances, having a shared roadmap can reduce anxiety and that includes every member of your household.
Home disorganization is also costing American families more than $58 billion dollars — at least that was what CCNMoney reported is the amount of unclaimed money sitting with state and federal treasurers. Loved ones are just unaware of both physical and financial assets during a crisis or upon death and they eventually end up in the very large “unclaimed money” coffers.
