Results of a survey of more than 2700 adults show that 74 percent of people experience stress related to rising prices, 53 percent over not having money for emergencies and 36 percent over paying for basic necessities.

Other top concerns included health, family illness, information overload, loneliness and problems at work. Across the age groups, adults aged 61 and older reported the least stress.
