- Forty percent of Americans say they are frequently subjected to stress, and another 36 percent sometimes feel that way, according to a January survey by the Gallup Poll.

Are we really living in stressful times? Atlanta was ranked #10 for the most stressul city based on murders, robberies, commute time, unemployment rates, monthly home payments, etc. I was reading this article from Bizjournal.com and was blown away knowing that I just relocated from Miami, a stressful city also and to find out that they are not even listed as one of the top ten stressful cities. I actually relocated for some of the same reasons that Atlanta is having problems with. Insane!!! The reason that I believe Atlanta was ranked for one of the top ten cities that are stressed is because people from all around the country are moving to this up and coming city and it is becoming a little overpopulated causing the traffic to become an issue as well as other things, but we should not let this get to us. Atlanta is still beautiful and a major attraction as well as a hot spot for tourist, and as far as the monthly home payments being to high, I beg to differ. They are way cheaper than Florida. I'm not complaining. I love it here!!If you would like to check out Atlanta's Stress Profile click below
