Money isn't Everything, but…

According to new research, the less you earn, the more stressed out you are. Wealthier people also had more friends, the study found. This forces us all to rethink the image of high-paid executives living lonely lives with a crushing load of stress

The study, published in the journal "Psychosomatic Medicine," and reported by MSN Health, found that, regardless of race, age, sex or weight, the level of stress hormones in a person's body goes up as their income goes down.

The study also found that poor people smoke more, don't eat breakfast as often, and have "a less diverse social network" than rich folks. "Having a strong social support network is known to reduce stress levels, and eating breakfast regularly is regarded as an indicator of overall healthy behavior."

"Every upward step in socioeconomic status increases the likelihood of better overall health," one of the study authors told MSN.
