Sometimes it sneaks in quietly, showing up in the smallest decisions: the late-night online shopping “treat,” the grocery store detour, or the way a bill sits unopened for days. On the surface, these choices look ordinary, even boring. But beneath them sits a restless hum of worry that says more about financial stress than most credit reports ever could. The
