在特朗普关税政策出台之前,绝大多数美国人就已对自身的财务健康状况忧心忡忡,而关税几乎注定会加剧这种财务压力。
经济学家预测,食品杂货等多项生活必需品将迎来涨价。摩根大通(JP Morgan)首席执行官杰米·戴蒙称当前市场正经历“剧烈动荡”,金融专家预计求职者将面临更大不确定性。
大量研究证明,经济困境会对身心健康造成双重打击。美国心脏协会(American Heart Association)发现82%的美国成年人存在财务焦虑。去年银率网(Bankrate)的调查显示,47%的美国人认为财务焦虑有损心理健康,其他研究还揭示了财务压力对工作效率与人际关系的负面影响。财务健康管理平台Wagestream的数据显示,近半数美国人表示财务压力对睡眠造成了负面影响。
研究还发现了更多证据,证明财务焦虑对身体和大脑都有伤害。在《科学》杂志发表的一项研究发现,长期财务压力可致智商下降13分,其影响堪比彻夜失眠。
Wagestream影响与包容主管艾米丽·特兰特就财务压力的健康影响接受《金融时报》采访时指出:“当人们为金钱烦恼,盘算如何管理收入时,这种焦虑会消耗大脑处理能力,而且研究表明消耗量是巨大的。在财务压力下,人们的决策能力、工作效率、控制情绪和冲动的能力都会显著下降……财务压力的危害甚至超过彻夜失眠。任何养育过婴幼儿的人都知道失眠对次日状态的影响。所以,想象一下日复一日的财务压力,它将使人陷入难以挣脱的困境。”
成年人每晚睡眠至少达到7小时有助于预防心血管疾病与痴呆症,更能确保思维敏捷、安全警觉并做出明智决策。
除睡前减少屏幕使用、调暗灯光、降低室温等睡眠卫生习惯外,专家向《财富》杂志推荐以下缓解财务焦虑的方法:
• 咨询财务治疗师,探讨金钱观念与消费模式,学会管理情绪
• 通过运动或冥想转换思维空间,增强应对财务挑战的信心
• 循序渐进地积累储蓄(财富中文网)

The vast majority of Americans were already worried about their financial health—and that was before the announcement of Trump’s tariffs, which almost guarantee that money stress is going to get worse.
Economists predict rising prices on numerous essentials like groceries. JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon has called this a time of “considerable turbulence” in the marketplace, and finance experts predict job seekers will face even more uncertainty.
It’s well-documented that financial doom and gloom take a physical and emotional toll. The American Heart Association found that 82% of American adults are stressed about money. A Bankrate survey last year found 47% of Americans say money worries have a negative effect on their mental health, while other studies point to financial stress’s negative impact on work productivity and personal relationships. And nearly half of Americans say financial stress negatively impacts their sleep, according to Wagestream, a financial well-being management platform.
Research also finds even more evidence that money woes hurt your body and brain. A study, published in Science, found that over time, financial stress can lower your IQ by 13 points, which can have the same impact on the brain as losing a night’s sleep.
“When you are worrying about money and thinking about how to manage incoming payments, it can consume your processing power and research suggests it is not a little bit, it’s actually quite a lot,” Emily Trant, head of impact and inclusion at Wagestream, told the Financial Times in a past interview about the health consequences of financial stress. “When people are stressed about money they are less able to make good decisions and they are less able to be productive at work and less able to control their emotions and impulse … Financial stress is actually worse than losing an entire night’s sleep, and anyone who has young kids will know that can really impact your very next day. So, imagine having that on repeat for day in and day out. It can be incredibly difficult to come out of that.”
Getting at least seven hours of sleep a night for adults helps protect against cardiovascular disease and dementia, and ensures you’re alert, safe, and able to make informed decisions.
In addition to practicing good sleep hygiene habits before bed, such as limiting screen time and turning down the lights and temperature, experts told Fortune to use these tips to calm a worrying mind about finances:
• See a financial therapist to discuss money beliefs and spending patterns to help you navigate your emotions
• Exercise or meditate to get your mind in a different space that would make tackling financial challenges feel more doable
• Take baby steps toward creating a savings cushion
