Through the in-depth research process and in-depth interviews from the "Comprehensive Health" survey program conducted by Anphabe Company, it shows that there are 6 levels of "silent financial pressure" for people working and working.
In the image of many people, a high salary often comes with peace of mind, stability and fullness. However, the reality of Anphabe's survey shows the opposite: only 3 out of 5 people at work feel truly secure financially and the high-income group - considered "financial safety" - is one of the quietest groups of insecurity.
Anphabe Company points out invisible traps that make many successful people exchange for peace of mind
Status Burden position burden
When income increases, the standard of living is also increased accordingly - not forced by society, but from one's own expectations. "Having to" drive more beautifully, in a more luxurious place, to send children to more prestigious schools... gradually becomes a form of pressure to maintain image, causing finances to be strongly controlled.
silent Future Load
There are costs that do not appear every month, but are always hanging on your head: Children's tuition for the following year, car payments, retirement plans, life insurance... These costs are not large when standing alone, but combined can cause "breathlessness".
Guilt-driven Spending
Because they are too busy or not present enough with their loved ones, many people tend to spend to compensate even though it is sometimes beyond their ability. Failure to establish a clear spending principle can easily lead to a spiral of "buying - regretting - continuing to buy".
Financial Stretching
Many spending items are decided based on future expectations, not current capacity. For example, depositing to buy a house, registering for long-term tuition for children with the premise of "salary will increase next year", while in reality, fluctuations can cause all financial plans to fail.
Obligation Trap
High-income people are often the main pillar in both finance and spirit for many people around them. They felt unable to rest, unable to slow down, unable to say no to anyone even when they were running out of personal resources.
sandwich Pressure
In between two generations (children are still young and parents are old), many people have to share financial resources with both sides. But every penny spent more on parents is a penny spent on children, and vice versa. This invisible pressure creates constant psychological struggle.
