- dreamweaver1984, on 09/29/2009, -2/+9this study is dumb, most people are more stressed in financial hardships, and that is not good for your health
- bugsy187, on 09/29/2009, -0/+5I was out of work for 6 months once. I lost 30 lbs. You see, when you have to resort to eating bread and sugar from your pantry because you're running out of money it's a great opportunity to shed a few inches from your waist!
- daeyeth, on 09/29/2009, -0/+4Well it ain't good my wallet I can tell you that much
- getlogicated, on 09/29/2009, -4/+8No *****. It's keeping people from eating like slobs.
Maybe now that people will be lighter, California won't sink into the ocean. - jarvadise, on 09/29/2009, -0/+3OOOOHHHHHH That explains it! They are just looking out for our health up there at the top. Thanks guys!
- illestlyrics, on 09/29/2009, -1/+4Maybe if you're a fat bastard. The stress isn't healthy for people who don't eat McDonalds three times a day. In related news, I remember reading this story a couple months back with a completely opposite outcome.

The world may end in 2012, it may not. My research shows me that both outcomes are possible. - Caergrim, on 09/29/2009, -0/+3Correlation does not mean causation. In fact, recessions are going to be BAD for your health because they induce stress and other problems.
Stupid ***** article. - SolitaireRose, on 09/29/2009, -1/+3Yeah, not having health insurance is great for your health.
- Interactive33, on 09/29/2009, -0/+2It is difficult to see how a Recession would increase exercise, improve eating, and cause improved health care visits. But other than that I am sure a recession is quite helpful

- tom500k, on 10/02/2009, -0/+1If the jerk-offs who did the study actually believed that unemployment is so good, they'd quit their jobs. Instead, they had to fess up to failing to look for explanations for their b.s. conclusion. This is not science it's p.r. disguised as science Who funded it, GM?
- MisterEThoughts, on 09/30/2009, -0/+1Yea, you can flip this recession anyway you want!
- bugsy187, on 09/30/2009, -0/+1If you're out of money you'll go to the soup kitchen. That's as long as "socialism" is OK with you.
- illestlyrics, on 09/29/2009, -0/+1It was a joke about two studies reaching different results. I already said, I'll make a bet with anyone that the world isn't going to end in 2012.
- JasonQpublic, on 09/29/2009, -1/+2Bwahaha! California is doomed either way.
- kinerry, on 09/29/2009, -1/+1exactly what research is that?
nowhere is it stated the world will end in 2012 - jautomann, on 09/29/2009, -3/+3Idk about you but when I'm out of money I go to Taco Bell instead of something healthier like subway...
- brundlefly76, on 09/29/2009, -1/+1dreamweaver - thats your 'opinion' vs a UVM study.
I can totally understand the study's results. I've been rich, been poor, rich stressed me the ***** out. The difference between poor and rich has a lot to do with whether you thrive in camaraderie or competition.
The recession has brought my friends and family closer together and realigned our priorities. Nobody feels like a 'failure' because the economy collapsed, we are all hard workers and we all know we'll work through it.
There is another type of financial hardship brought on by lack of personal responsibility - THAT is stressful. - kinerry, on 09/29/2009, -2/+1taco bell isn't exactly bad for you
- borez, on 09/29/2009, -4/+3I agree with this. I've been running a student nightclub for the last eight years and a few months ago we merged with another student union, which was OK until we discovered we were all being ceremonially booted out in favour of the other union staff. At the time I was angry as hell ( as you can imagine ) I mean I'd ***** virtually built the place only to have it ripped out of my hands for no reason. I hit the ***** roof, it wasn't your average goodbye leaving do either, we all got marched off campus by the in-house security, who we all known for years and they were all friends. Horrible way to end a much loved job. ***** Union bureaucratic wankers.
Anyway I digress:
Six months down the line I'm still unemployed, but you know what, I'm ***** loving it, I have time to do all the stuff I haven't done for years, I'm sleeping properly, I'm eating properly, I'm not drinking, I have my weekends back, I'm not working till stupid a clock in the morning, my phone isn't ringing constantly off the hook. I'm calm, I'm relaxed. I'm really happy. I've been visiting relatives who I couldn't possibly get to see when I was running the club. And I've realised why my last two relationships failed, I just didn't have time for anybody, let alone a girlfriend... poor girls, they just wanted a nice bloke, and all they got was this Tasmanian ***** devil.
I've got another month or so still off till I start another job, but this time it's freelance and it's relaxed and it'll give me more time for myself.
It's so easy to get sucked into that working all hours crap, what's the point, you need time to enjoy life, not work yourself to death. - HamstaMan, on 09/29/2009, -5/+1It depends. A bit of stress might do some lazy people good.
