Loneliness Hurts More When You're Broke

Turns out, being broke and lonely is a brutal combo—like, it literally hurts. A new study found that half of low-income adults in Europe felt lonely last week, and that pain isn’t just in your head. Even if you’re seeing friends, poverty can make you feel isolated, and that stress can show up as body aches, exhaustion, and a low mood. Social support matters, but it’s the quality—not just quantity—that counts. Maybe it’s time we rethink how we support each other, especially when money’s tight. #Loneliness #MentalHealth #Poverty #Health
