Americans are a stress-y bunch, but some are more stressed than others, especially when it comes to money. Even those are who better off get stressed, and women are more stressed than men. 

All that is according to the New York Life Retirement Plan Services 2014 Financial Stress Survey, which reported that 73 percent of people felt daily stress including 28 percent who described themselves as extremely stressed.

The top driver of stress is money, with 60 percent saying that they worry about possible financial trouble, 47 percent fearing catastrophic-level medical bills and 46 percent fearing for their jobs (and, by extension, income). No real surprise here.
