I’ve been in a relationship with someone who was bad with money. I’m a frugal person, and like a lot of people, I fell for my opposite.

Are your finances stressing you out? You're not alone.

Financial-wellness company Payoff released a study recently that shows about one in four Americans—and one in three Millennials—experience finance-related stress so severe that it can be classified as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
