Stressed out

So, this is what they mean with women copying men's lives...as women get more financially independent, they also get more stressed... CNN came up with a list of the most stressed countries, at least for women, and India, the fastest growing global economy, topped the list: (The percentages indicate the percentage of women claiming to be stressed most of the time.)

1. India (87%)
2. Mexico (74%)
3. Russia (69%)
4. Brazil (67%)
5. Spain (66%)
6. France (65%)
7. South Africa (64%)
Italy (64%)
8. Nigeria (58%)
9. Turkey (56%)
10. U.K. (55%)
11. U.S.A. (53%)
12. Japan (52%)
Canada (52%)
Australia (52%)
13. China (51%)
14. Germany (47%)
15. Thailand (45%)
South Korea (45%)
16. Malaysia (44%)
Sweden (44%)

One good thing about the Indian woman being on the top of the list, is that she spends her hard earned money on herself; the Indian woman purchases beauty items and clothes. Which is excellent, because women, biologically speaking, tend to spend their time and money on family and household items. But taking care of yourself on the outside is still not sufficient to stay healthy (and succesful) in the long term. Maybe they should copy their Western sister's habits: women in developed countries spend their income on vacations, savings and paying off debts. By doing this, they get less stressed, physically and mentally, and prepare themselves, from the inside, for the next level of their life and career. This longterm thinking (which also most men do) can secure her more for a better, steadier and therefor healthier future, for herself and her family.
