Research: Wealth Wellbeing
• Health, mental health, personal finance are interconnected (O’Neill, Sorhaindo, et al., 2005)
• Impulse and compulsive buying linked to negative psychology (Silvera, Lavack & Kroop, 2008; Baumeister, 2002; Verplanken, et al., 2005)
• Overspending and rising debt increase stress, reduces health (Drentea & Lavraka, 2000; Kim, Garman & Sorhaindo, 2003)
• Debt reduction and credit repair improve physical health (Bagwell, 2000; O’Neill, et al., 2005)
• Asset accumulation brings psychological and social benefit (Dynner & Paxton, 2001)
• Asset ownership boosts confidence and expectations (hope) (Yadama and Sherraden, 1996)
