The AP (12/21, Morga) reports, “The holidays are supposed to be a joyful time, but they can also be financially stressful.” And “with inflation easing but still high, 57% of Americans say it has been harder to afford the gifts they want to give, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.” Compared with “the height of the pandemic, ‘we’re having less stress navigating the things that bring us together during the holidays. What is different from last year is how much financial stress there is,’ said” APA President Rebecca Brendel, MD, JD. Experts offer recommendations “to reduce financial stress during the holidays.”
