A report out on Monday suggests that money worries are getting in the way of our sex lives.
The survey by Attitude New Zealand , which contains the first ever New Zealand Stress Index, says those most over stressed and under sexed are between 35 and 44 years old.
Chris Pescott, Managing Director of Perceptive, the company which conducts the survey, says the three things topping the stress index, unsurprisingly, all relate to money.
"The survey showed that savings ability (5.7 out of 10), spending power (5.1), and retirement security (5.1) seem to stress us out the most, with females and those aged 45-54 feeling the financial strain more than others."
"Twenty five percent of males say stress resulting from reduced spending power (or lack of money) was the main source of arguments. Perhaps, not surprisingly, more females (36%) stated that their personal life was the main cause of strife", says Pescott.
Perceptive's Attitude New Zealand survey of 1,000 people throughout New Zealand was conducted during November 2009.
