I’m Australian and I see the US health system as very mean. In Australia we have universal free healthcare, called Medicare. As a society, we pay taxes to care for those in the greatest need, without judgment. Our system is not perfect, but it does give everyone access to quality care, without the stress of going into debt. This includes psychiatric care and optometry.
American food and our freedom to eat all the Big Macs and Coca Colas we want is a reason why our health care system couldn’t keep up with the demands necessary to care for everyone.
Same here !! OMG… I took my last $50k out of savings to pay iff the debt from my marriage ( credit cards). The separated wife go to the money and now I have nothing. I am bankrupt and freaked out. I made a lot during the marriage, but she spent it, but this is a slow year and I am dying inside. It is affecting my work! I have the same issues as he does!!!!

That's exactly what I do! When I cant get control of my my finances I completely shut down. And avoid everything. I'm extremely stressed right now. I cant figure out how to get out of being homeless. I'm naturally scatter brained so trying to sort things out while stressed out is impossible for me 😒😞
Thank you for addressing this! Sometimes its hard to give yourself the self compassion you need when you feel like drowning in financial issues. Especially when you know how your mental health (ADHD) plays into it and it feels like life is punishing you for it
I admitted myself to inpatient psych this past November and was there for 10 days. I discovered that the months of extreme life stress from relocating with my children to leave an emotionally abusive narcissist, the resulting custody case and financial devastation caused relentless panic attacks that spun into delirium and mania. I now am considered to be bipolar 1. Ok, cool. Now I know and I am here to take control of my mind and my money. We got this. Thank goodness I am in Canada and my hospitalization didn’t bankrupt me. That was apparently my lawyer’s assignment. 😉 Stay blessed everyone. We can do hard things. One step at a time. Thank you for all you do Kyle with MedCircle. This conversation was right on time.❤️
9 on the scale of stress from financial stress. As the only caregiver for my terminally ill husband, I am also the only source of income. His disability income basically covers the cost of his meds and medical care. We also have a homestead with livestock that cost money to keep healthy ( food, minerals, hay, etc ). I wanted to sell off the livestock, but watching the cows and goats makes him happy, so the livestock will go once he no longer gets pleasure from them. So right now, caring for a house, husband, livestock, paying the bills, working a fulltime job, cooking, cleaning, etc......My complete stress level is beyond a 10.
10… right now I'm supporting my partner. it is very difficult to get it together financially. a big part of me wants to blame it all on him not having an income, but i know i'm part of the problem too. my anxiety and stress about work and money, my bad experience at handling money and above all my mental illness are doing an incredible amount of damage. i spend to feel good ... i drink more and more ... i have some credit dept and i owe my family and friends a lot of money ... i feel so bad every day ... the only thing i can do is to try to get better and do what I can to feel better and hope my partner gets a job pretty soon... but it feels lika everything slowley is falling apart… i dont want life to be like this…
I’m so broke, being strong doesn’t even work anymore. I feel like I’m free falling with no parachute but I’m relaxed in the sense of once I hit the ground I’ll be at peace
Very helpful, thank you. I eliminated all debt except my mortgage and built up a decent 401K for retirement which helped my mental health for years. Now, at almost 64 and facing a stagnant income spurred by our overblown capitalist culture in the US now followed by stock market declines, I have fallen back into anxiety about the timing of my retirement plans. Thank goodness for the tools I have learned in therapy and long-term recovery or I would be far worse. Every day I try to take one more step toward clarity around my finances and remind myself that I have more choices than I am usually aware of.
I'm 58 years old and have been cut off from my family. I have a lot of significant past traumas and recurrent depression. I'm alone and have current financial stress at 10. I'm about to lose my home and have no income. I have daily panic attacks, crying outbursts, and wake up literally shaking. I feel so trapped and overwhelmed that I can barely function.
Thank you, Kyle! Preparing a budget has been on my to-do list for a long time. Maybe it will become more of a priority now, since my financial future is uncertain. Two years ago, I was employed, in debt, and very resentful towards my employer. Then, a month after the lockdown, I was furloughed, which was just the first step in being discarded. The interesting thing is that all my credit card debt got paid off. There were no longer opportunities to attend performing arts performances, no going to relatively inexpensive restaurants, severance pay, government stimulus money, and family help. I was also no longer paying a therapist who was no longer a good fit. I am retired, at least for now. Watching MedCircle has been very helpful in helping me through this transition period.
I’m a 10. Thankfully, my understanding of my psychology has created great change in my personal philosophy which has resulted in financial abundance. I still save and think like my former self because I know how important being financially stress free to my mental health is.
I’m definitely a 10, it’s a huge stress, especially trying to live on such a small tight budget as a single person trying to survive in this economy. But when I have an extra several hundred dollars in my bank account and know I can pay my bills… which sadly is reliant on bad things happening …aka when my living room flooded and I got reimbursed I’m too afraid to use the money to purchase what was destroyed bc my buffer will be gone… with that extra money I don’t have to juggle bills and my stress is way down. Also, if a person wants to see me come out swinging they only have to mess with my money. That’s why my narcissistic soon to be ex husband has been “punishing” and abusing me with money for the last three years. I definitely stress less when life isn’t so tight but unfortunately it is right now. I already have the hopelessness of being in debt to school loans for what I will imagine will be the rest of my life, this stuff is for sure a huge stress and impact to my mental health. Money can’t buy you real love or happiness, but it ABSOLUTELY buys me freedom from this stress.
Thank you Kyle! Thank you MedCircle! This is so important!!! In my 20s, I'd be a 10. Now, in my 40s I'd be a 5. I try to live by grace and realize I'll be okay. I can't allow money issues to stress me out like I used to.
Kyle, Thank You for this video...I too work the Dave Ramsey plan...I have debt now due to auto repair, pet medical expenses, school loans...My credit store is at 825...What is really-really causing stress is the insane rent increases, some doubling...so it is daunting to think of how to meet the impending doom of more increases...My budget does help with the present and future planning...Currently living in San Diego, may have to come to the reality of having to move out of state...Very scary...In Gratitude Kyle...💙
If it's any consolation, you're not in that boat alone by yourself when it comes to needing to leave that over burdening state. I'm in a similar situation in Taxachussettes. Good luck.
This was very needed ! Thank you 🙏🏼… I had a zoom meeting yesterday with mental health professionals and it was basically a very painful wake up call. For so long I just pretended to be fine with my finances as I rely on my parents but now I feel the pressure of my parents wanting to cut me off and it is a real fear. I really wanna run away from this but I need to face it 🙏🏼
5- right in the middle. I have the money... but don't want to mess up & lose it. Because I came from "not having enough" there is a fear of going back to that place. Even though I'm not spending much, being practical & frugal & I'm still careful.
In between HS and university right now and there truly is something particularly dehumanizing about getting in, getting a scholarship but still being unable to attend because it's still too expensive. It's heartbreaking
I feel so stressed. It’s because at times, you spend more than you had planned. For an example, I have an event to go to, and my shoes breaks. The solution is to buy new shoes, that ends up costing $40. I hadn’t planned that expense and overall, it ends up increasing my daily expenses. 😢
It just takes so long to finish financial goals. I am saving 21% of my net income towards my emergency fund, and it will still take me over a year to finish saving for it. Also, I have a mountain of debt, $35,000 to pay off. Which will take me another year and a half to pay off. It just feels like such a long battle.
I needed to start working on a budget. I have been frustrated trying out apps. This one is already feeling like a solid, clarifying, organizing experience.
My financial stress definitely redlined for years, due to health issues. I took drastic measures--moving to another country where the dollar is incredibly strong--and it's been such a game-changer for my mental health--yay!
Thank you Kyle for presenting this session, many of us relate especially to the current day while facing inflationary effects on “all fronts” complicating the flow of $$$. Financial stress does burden our minds therefore our day-to-day lives. 👌❤️😊
Substitute money for well being….. because our society runs on money… so of course if you have no money it greatly impacts your well being …. And we have lots of people hoarding well being and opportunity
Thanks for another great and helpful discussion. Can you have some therapists discuss money in relationships? And how to get on the same page or a peaceful compromise with budget and spending, etc. And can you also discuss tools for people to have a healthier individual relationship with money if it causes them anxiety even when they have enough of it or are in a pretty good place financially or don’t have that much debt?
So how do you manage your money and mental health problems when you have zero income? 🤔 There’s where I’m at right now! I keep applying for jobs all over my country, but nothing gives. Due to this for months and months, I’ve slipped into a deep depression and have given up on ever finding a job again (I’m in my 40’s).
I hear you. I have income but my outgoing is more than incoming due to me helping my son cause my credit history is crap and I didn’t want him get a bad credit rating
I’ve thought of ending my life sometimes, drowning in debt, can’t go out and enjoy myself with friends, and basically need a higher paying job if I’m to stand a chance of being able to pay it off as soon as I can, but I can’t seem to find a job, even if it’s a job that starts with lower pay and gradually increase
'You' are fab Kyle . . . I know I would not 'know' to reference the fabulous MedCircle and then rec. to A LLLLOT of pple incl. strangers going through hell due to present crises, pandemic, uncertainty in all various areas..... if not for your truest self. One note... I truly think specialists with varied academics 'need' to also be forth coming on why they feel they 'must' or 'choose' to charge insane money as they do. This is touchy of course as your specialists DO give a lot of resources for free via the channel & website. The majority of specialists do not. I understand the costs of education must be paid off...then there is costs of running a practice incl. insurance. But . . . it needs to be addressed and answered to. It would be impressive to hear about...we will see I guess. Again thank 'you' Kyle.
Thanks for that. Although not in debt and has reserves, I'm in immense stress My question is about the relationships with money and what is related to that : the sense you can make a living, being scared from the future, anxiety, yes, but also: The relationships can be suffocating, even if you are doing all the budgeting well, and well earning. Because it's not only about the balance and future calculations, right? But about the sense of stability and capacity to make it on your own
Definetly a 8 or 9 people are born into poverty.I know most people who have mad skills or are very smart don't believe this.I struggled through Grade school and high school like my father,I believe I have his genetics doing bull work all my life never pushing a pencil like my youngest brother. Gifted people have an easier time getting by with a much better aptitude and less limitations in life......
I graduated with a BA in psychology. I didn't go further into school because I was terrified of student debt also I think it's immoral to burden the mentally ill with massive debt.
Thank u for such an informative video. It opened up my eyes on a few things that will helpful as I’ve just gotten out of $50k in CC debt. NEVER AGAIN! You’re an incredible speaker by the way.
10! I'm facing level 10 stress while starting to watch this video. Are there any resources that can help dealing with financial hardship caused by narcissistic family members? Its a double whammy and I'm unable to deal with it alone
Super video Kyle!👍 It is such an important topic, in today's world more so than ever! On a number scale I most definitely would be on the high side, if I had to present it in pie form, there would be such a small piece left, that I couldn't even enjoy it, I'd be so stressed 🤪 I did take note a long time ago on just how much my financial situation can directly impact my mental state and health, both positively and negatively. I have in the past and guilty of that group who would track where expenses went, thinking that was some sort of strategy, then realizing of course it's if little value if it stops there 🤔. I have to be honest, there are a few select words in the English language that I have have always had some weird unspoken adversion to any budget is one of these, I'm not sure why really, I think mainly because I know myself to be honest, loyal, committed, rational, logical,(okay that one maybe a little sketchy), but disciplined, not so much. I will say that the concept of it, has sparked my interest before, I have seen Dave's show before long ago, as well as the lady who had a popular show on financial matters (see how bad it is, I can't even remember her name right now)🤔 but anyway I found the video very enlightening, and informational, and so on 🎯 and extremely well presented 🙌
I don’t spend to feel good. It’s June 2024. Only spend $$$$ on rent, food, utilities, & gas. Buying anything else actually gives me stress. Trying to save but even that will never be enough. Priced out of health care, home ownership, vacations, nice cars, entertainment…just working n living. Not what I thought my 60s would be
9 haha Even though i know i have enough money,i sometimes can't even pay for my meds.. Sometimes even 5€ paid for unimportant stuff stresses me out,really anxious about it
I am a 8 to 9. what is sad is I cant talk to any family member. I tried asking for a raise to alleviate. sadly after a year I got some raise. then when an across the board raise came I became automatically ineligible as I received a raise within the past 6 months. this put me back as the system worked against me also. I grief myself. I can reduce my spending but not my family's.
I’m dead inside from my financial situation over the past year, I need help & advice on how to get past this financial struggle to get through my life , please help 😢
Having people paying me on time will reduce my depression almost completely. I own my own business and people just dont pay and I'm constantly in debt. So how do I make a budget when people dont pay. Also my company is aircon and refrigeration. You cannot know when you will have to pay in to making mistakes. I cannot budget what so ever.
I'm a 7 to 8 in distress. Never cared about money and not in hurry all the time. It's just i'm 42 and got nothing under my seat to handle. That's starting to trigger anxious states. Never as much distressfull as my syster's movement that they make like 300/10 of terror in my mind. I work and got no family, just a few decades in debt i can manage with just my job. Worrying about my sys finances 1000% now...
Same here !! OMG… I took my last $50k out of savings to pay iff the debt from my marriage ( credit cards). The separated wife go to the money and now I have nothing. I am bankrupt and freaked out. I made a lot during the marriage, but she spent it, but this is a slow year and I am dying inside. It is affecting my work! I have the same issues as he does!!!!
When my father got CKD. My family and i became more eat a small portion every day, so we can save a money for my father's kidney dialysis. The average salary of the Family is 12,000 php a month and the kidney dialysis is cost 1,500 php per day every week. This is now the starts of the family's starvation could create Chaotic impact against the family's vitality. I grieve because I've nothing to do as a student, just a father's intentionally deprive her health whichs the fundamental cause. I couldn't cope with it when now we're facing financial stress and health crisis. Now we're on dept.
Need my roof replaced, furnace replaced at the same time, cost of groceries and living skyrocketing while living paycheck to paycheck, two kids and now on my own after 15 yrs of marriage... Ya I'm a 10.
This is my problem now, since my plant closed I'm way behind on everything, I picked up a gf who doesn't work and is pregnant with my kid. My job now doesn't cover cost of living and if it keeps up I won't have a paycheck to paycheck I'll just be overdrawn
Man. this is some good sh_ t your mouth. This channel is a lifesaver. Financial troubles has a lot to do with your spirtuality. Bad management. Usually means bad relationships.👍Great Stuff.
I’m a 10 at the moment I’ve always been good with money always had savings had stocks and shares always been a saver. But recently been made redundant 3 times in 1 year it’s been the worst year of my life spent all of my savings had to cash out all my stocks and shares to pay for my bills. Lowest I’ve ever felt literally got no money I’m borrowing money off my parents to pay my bills untill I find a new job and I hate the fact I’m taking money on my family to pay for my stuff
Kinda agree.Kinda Don't. 6 months is too long for me. Lets get my mind right. My direction right. Finances right now. Different times it takes belongs to how your lifestyle is. Get tired of your devils. Get tired of your lifestyles. You'll get it right. Just don't flip out killing up everything.
How well do you include her on all the incomes and expenses? Rhetorical question obviously, but facing someone with a budget is more about control than sharing responsibilities.
I’m Australian and I see the US health system as very mean. In Australia we have universal free healthcare, called Medicare. As a society, we pay taxes to care for those in the greatest need, without judgment. Our system is not perfect, but it does give everyone access to quality care, without the stress of going into debt. This includes psychiatric care and optometry.
You are so lucky! Honestly ❤️
I really love my country Georgia 😻😂 but oh boy, as I get older, very often think - what if I was born somewhere else 😁😄
Another Aussie here. Just had eye surgery worth $4000. Didn’t pay a cent except $30 for antibiotic eye drops.
Canada is similar although I wish dental, and optometry were covered. Psychiatry is covered but not therapy or psychology.
American food and our freedom to eat all the Big Macs and Coca Colas we want is a reason why our health care system couldn’t keep up with the demands necessary to care for everyone.

Im at a 10. My money issues cause me extreme panic attacks and triggers extreme depressive episodes for me. It's horribly stressful :(
I'm exactly the same. Every word you say. Sending hugs ❣
Same, I got Telogen Effluvium from all the stress

I’ve thought of ending my life sometimes, drowning in debt, can’t go out and enjoy myself with friends, and basically need a higher paying job if I’m to stand a chance of being able to pay it off as soon as I can, but I can’t seem to find a job, even if it’s a job that starts with lower pay and gradually increase
'You' are fab Kyle . . . I know I would not 'know' to reference the fabulous
MedCircle and then rec. to A LLLLOT of pple incl. strangers going through
hell due to present crises, pandemic, uncertainty in all various areas.....
if not for your truest self.
One note... I truly think specialists with varied academics 'need' to also
be forth coming on why they feel they 'must' or 'choose' to charge
insane money as they do. This is touchy of course as your specialists
DO give a lot of resources for free via the channel & website.
The majority of specialists do not. I understand the costs of education
must be paid off...then there is costs of running a practice incl. insurance.
But . . . it needs to be addressed and answered to. It would be impressive
to hear about...we will see I guess. Again thank 'you' Kyle.
Great talk on financial insecurities.. I was 7 before converted my credit card balance from 18% p.a to 3.88% p.a.. you are a great asset Kyle 😁
Thanks for that. Although not in debt and has reserves, I'm in immense stress
My question is about the relationships with money and what is related to that : the sense you can make a living, being scared from the future, anxiety, yes, but also:
The relationships can be suffocating, even if you are doing all the budgeting well, and well earning. Because it's not only about the balance and future calculations, right? But about the sense of stability and capacity to make it on your own
It impacts my mental health at a 10
Thank you, Kyle. 😊 God bless.
Definetly a 8 or 9 people are born into poverty.I know most people who have mad skills or are very smart don't believe this.I struggled through Grade school and high school like my father,I believe I have his genetics doing bull work all my life never pushing a pencil like my youngest brother. Gifted people have an easier time getting by with a much better aptitude and less limitations in life......
A total 10!
you have no idea how much this helped me, plus ♥ Dave Ramsey
I graduated with a BA in psychology. I didn't go further into school because I was terrified of student debt also I think it's immoral to burden the mentally ill with massive debt.
Omg im currently getting my BA in psychology how were the classes?
Thank u for such an informative video. It opened up my eyes on a few things that will helpful as I’ve just gotten out of $50k in CC debt. NEVER AGAIN! You’re an incredible speaker by the way.
Wow, how did you do that. Amazing🎉
This came at the exact right time! Thank you ♥️♥️♥️
What is it about being obsessed with getting out of debt for years, but once out, thinking it is fine to go back into it?
This has been me for years! Thank you for this!
Eight, all my life, regardless of income.
I am going to take on finding freedom
10! I'm facing level 10 stress while starting to watch this video. Are there any resources that can help dealing with financial hardship caused by narcissistic family members? Its a double whammy and I'm unable to deal with it alone
Very little therapists help with this. And I cant move or get out of bed - but that’s the opposite of what I should do 😖
Thank you for sharing and being so open!
7 or 8! Very stressful! Thanks for the honest video.
Super video Kyle!👍 It is such an important topic, in today's world more so than ever! On a number scale I most definitely would be on the high side, if I had to present it in pie form, there would be such a small piece left, that I couldn't even enjoy it, I'd be so stressed 🤪 I did take note a long time ago on just how much my financial situation can directly impact my mental state and health, both positively and negatively. I have in the past and guilty of that group who would track where expenses went, thinking that was some sort of strategy, then realizing of course it's if little value if it stops there 🤔. I have to be honest, there are a few select words in the English language that I have have always had some weird unspoken adversion to any budget is one of these, I'm not sure why really, I think mainly because I know myself to be honest, loyal, committed, rational, logical,(okay that one maybe a little sketchy), but disciplined, not so much. I will say that the concept of it, has sparked my interest before, I have seen Dave's show before long ago, as well as the lady who had a popular show on financial matters (see how bad it is, I can't even remember her name right now)🤔 but anyway I found the video very enlightening, and informational, and so on 🎯 and extremely well presented 🙌
Love u guys so much! Thank you for taking the time to remind me to focus on my financial health to help my mental health 💗😃
10!!… single parent grad student completing 30+ hours unpaid internship and 2 jobs…regardless money has always been a major stressor
I don’t spend to feel good. It’s June 2024. Only spend $$$$ on rent, food, utilities, & gas. Buying anything else actually gives me stress. Trying to save but even that will never be enough. Priced out of health care, home ownership, vacations, nice cars, entertainment…just working n living. Not what I thought my 60s would be
16:24 Changing your relationship with money is about much more than just fixing your financial situation, though
Thank you, Kyle! I needed to hear this
9 haha
Even though i know i have enough money,i sometimes can't even pay for my meds.. Sometimes even 5€ paid for unimportant stuff stresses me out,really anxious about it
I am a 8 to 9. what is sad is I cant talk to any family member. I tried asking for a raise to alleviate. sadly after a year I got some raise. then when an across the board raise came I became automatically ineligible as I received a raise within the past 6 months. this put me back as the system worked against me also. I grief myself. I can reduce my spending but not my family's.
70% it can and has wrecked my MH
Thank you I really appreciate these videos.
I’m dead inside from my financial situation over the past year, I need help & advice on how to get past this financial struggle to get through my life , please help 😢
Yesss, this is great.
Having people paying me on time will reduce my depression almost completely. I own my own business and people just dont pay and I'm constantly in debt. So how do I make a budget when people dont pay. Also my company is aircon and refrigeration. You cannot know when you will have to pay in to making mistakes. I cannot budget what so ever.
Great topic! I'm about a 5.
I'm a 7 to 8 in distress. Never cared about money and not in hurry all the time. It's just i'm 42 and got nothing under my seat to handle. That's starting to trigger anxious states. Never as much distressfull as my syster's movement that they make like 300/10 of terror in my mind. I work and got no family, just a few decades in debt i can manage with just my job. Worrying about my sys finances 1000% now...
10 get very low pay at work and triggers my mental health to worry about bills
Same here !! OMG… I took my last $50k out of savings to pay iff the debt from my marriage ( credit cards). The separated wife go to the money and now I have nothing. I am bankrupt and freaked out. I made a lot during the marriage, but she spent it, but this is a slow year and I am dying inside. It is affecting my work! I have the same issues as he does!!!!
Feel like you were right on the money today for this…see what I did there? 🤙🏼😂
10!
10. Always a 10.
the groceries prices keep on rising...every months thinking about food to eat
10, always
When my father got CKD. My family and i became more eat a small portion every day, so we can save a money for my father's kidney dialysis. The average salary of the Family is 12,000 php a month and the kidney dialysis is cost 1,500 php per day every week. This is now the starts of the family's starvation could create Chaotic impact against the family's vitality. I grieve because I've nothing to do as a student, just a father's intentionally deprive her health whichs the fundamental cause. I couldn't cope with it when now we're facing financial stress and health crisis. Now we're on dept.
Need my roof replaced, furnace replaced at the same time, cost of groceries and living skyrocketing while living paycheck to paycheck, two kids and now on my own after 15 yrs of marriage... Ya I'm a 10.
10/10
My mom got paranoid schizophrenia because of my malignant narcissistic father' financial abuse.
This is my problem now, since my plant closed I'm way behind on everything, I picked up a gf who doesn't work and is pregnant with my kid. My job now doesn't cover cost of living and if it keeps up I won't have a paycheck to paycheck I'll just be overdrawn
👍❤️
That’s where I hated accounting.
Must add that I was at about a 9 maybe even 10 but that was 2 1/2 years ago and now I’m at a 5
Man. this is some good sh_ t your mouth. This channel is a lifesaver. Financial troubles has a lot to do with your spirtuality. Bad management. Usually means bad relationships.👍Great Stuff.
I am crying rn, my financial stress at 10
I’m a 10 at the moment I’ve always been good with money always had savings had stocks and shares always been a saver.
But recently been made redundant 3 times in 1 year it’s been the worst year of my life spent all of my savings had to cash out all my stocks and shares to pay for my bills.
Lowest I’ve ever felt literally got no money I’m borrowing money off my parents to pay my bills untill I find a new job and I hate the fact I’m taking money on my family to pay for my stuff
Kinda agree.Kinda Don't. 6 months is too long for me. Lets get my mind right. My direction right. Finances right now. Different times it takes belongs to how your lifestyle is. Get tired of your devils. Get tired of your lifestyles. You'll get it right. Just don't flip out killing up everything.
10 overload stress.
My husband's a 10 I'm a 4 on the scaling question.
But what i can't get a handle on.... is my wife refusing to follow the budget. Her only response has been....well make more money.
How well do you include her on all the incomes and expenses? Rhetorical question obviously, but facing someone with a budget is more about control than sharing responsibilities.
American healthcare is putting me in debt

I'm a 10
