A closer look
Debt doesn’t just live inside bank accounts—it sneaks into bloodstreams. Scientists have uncovered that money owed comes with a physical tax: higher stress hormones, restless nights, and health wear that ticks years off a clock. It’s not laziness or poor willpower, but the body’s alarm system ringing nonstop, as though chasing predators that don’t tire. A credit card bill can feel like a wolf’s eyes in the dark, unseen but pressing the heart to race. Debt ages skin and soul, reminding us that economics isn’t only numbers—it’s biology echoing the weight of worry.
