— -- Everyone is feeling the current financial stress.

But how is it affecting you and your family emotionally?

More arguments with your broker or money manager? More disagreements with your spouse or kids?

Less time at home and more time at the office? Less time to exercise or spend time with your family but more time at your desk? An end to family "treats?"

Keeping a closer eye on your 401-K or brokerage statements or too depressed to even look? Been to the doctor more often? Or maybe just maybe you're paying no attention to any of it. Or, perhaps, you have a secret coping strategy.

However the current financial climate is affecting you and your family please let us know in as much detail as you can.

Please send your story, including your full name, place of residence, phone number and best time to reach you to BHorovit@usatoday.com.
