This week is Mind week. This year the focus is about the negative impact of debt on mental health. According to Mind this can take the form of anxiety and stress, depression, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. Do you worry about money? Has it affected your health?

Oh god yeah, all the time. There is never enough money to go around when your a young working family! I worry all the time about whether or not i can efford something.
The main cause of dept is high taxation and the various forms of stealth tax. Also greedy property speculators who are now feeling the consequences. The government is to blame for not putting a stop to it all. Taxation on fuel is the biggest cause of debt because it effects shop prices on food and everything else. People must eat and that is before anything else, council tax, fuel bills, etc. For many people the only way is for increasing dept, particularly pensioners whos pensions are also unfairly taxed.

Why does the government still allow loan agencies and the likes to still advertise there so called cheap loans etc on national tv. They should ban it then it would be less accessable t those who think they are in for any easy fix rather than dragging them into further debt. BUT THE GOVERNMENT ARE PROBABLY GETTING A TAKE FROM IT - LIKE EVRY THING ELSE
I remember when i was poor and only around 6 years old and a man use to call next door to my house and he was a loan shark strange that labour has been in power on and off for 27 years from that time and yet i still hear storys of loan sharks who charge the poor 2000% interest so many things have happend yet nothing has realy changed has it ?
