Abstract

With the alteration in the standard of living, financial needs have also increased. Emotional strain that is primarily associated with money is referred to as financial stress. Financial stress can affect anyone, but it might be particularly prevalent in homes with low earnings. Not having enough money to cover your expenses, such as rent, bills and groceries, can cause stress. Physical stress is often related to the health problems individuals’ face in their life, it may be related to internal problems such as pain, aches or external such as injury or accident. Hence the current study concentrated on the level of financial and physical stress experienced by middle-aged persons who were single or dual earners. 120 participants participated in the study, which was performed in the Udaipur City of Rajasthan. The findings showed that the respondents experienced high to moderate levels of financial and physical stress.
