Is money the biggest source of stress in your life?

No.  I'm not sure what I would say is, though.  Probably just worrying about my kids in general:  how they're doing in school, getting along with others, etc.

This is exactly my situation as well. I seem to be able to control money far more than those other two factors!

No. My daughters health is my biggest concern. And with MS you never know what can happen.

Time management is more likely the bigger culprit to stress. I am a on the go type of person and there is never the time to keep up with the house, and activities and hobbies. I worry about the kids but they are healthy so not too much worry there. I worry about money but not as much as timing. Maybe it is just this week. I volunteered for girl scout camp and haven't had the energy to do other things as well.

I had to think about this. While money IS a factor, I have more of a free-floating anxiety. We're been through so much the last few years with money troubles from debt (medical / DD's adoption) then hubby getting laid off then the big move with include selling our house and trying to buy a new one. We're settled now - but just barely settled. Hubby's major car repair didn't help. The other day I realized we've only lived in this house a month but I feel like we should have so much more done. I can't help but feel like I'm waiting for the next shoe to drop.

In short, what I want is a nice normal life where income and out-go is relatively predictable.

No, dd is. She is 2 years old and is totally picky to the extent of being on appetite stimulants.  I wonder/worry about what to feed her for each meal. She is 28 months old and barely 22lbs.  

No money is not my biggest stress.  My kids are my biggest stress and then my health is second.  Not to say that I don't ever worry about money.  However, dh's business is doing pretty well right now and we've had several very good months.
