What make home life worse?

In Chinese, there's a phase 'couple with financial problems usually encounter all kind of bad things (贫賤夫妻百事哀)'
Financial crisis gives huge and bad impact on family and relationship, hard to survive except the couple has very strong EQ. It's so many technical things to handle, very exhausting, can drag all your positive energy away when you see no hope.
Maybe creating hope and adjusting is a way out!
Good luck and good health.

Unhappy families – Britain ranks third worst in Europe for home life
by Emma Hilton
The Relationships Foundation has released details of a large study revealing that rising levels of debt, poverty and long unsocial working hours means Britain ranks among the worst countries in Europe for families.
The Family Pressure Gauge report found that money worries, poor living conditions and a lack of support from parents all played a part in British families being among the most pressured in Europe, with one in every five families struggling to break even.
Additional significant findings from the report included the following:
-14 per cent of families in the UK are suffering from 'critical' debt levels compared to 1 per cent of Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian households.
-Almost one quarter of the average UK working family's income is spent on childcare costs. This is double the amount french families spend and three times more than German families spend.
-One in seven families use over 40 per cent of their income to pay their rent or mortgage.
-Britain is the second worst country in Europe for giving maternity and paternity leave.
-One in 20 families are living in what is considered to be 'severe housing deprivation', overcrowded houses which are in poor condition such as without a toilet. This is a significantly higher amount than in other European countries and is notably 12 times more than in the Netherlands.
The report paints a picture of how British families are coping in comparison to 26 other European countries and is based on the analysis of 25 key factors including pressures of money, parenting, living conditions and work.
The report highlights that very little has been done since the Childhood and Families task force was set up last June and executive director of the Relationships Foundation, Michael Trend, has said that the Government really needs to get its act together on family policy.
