Compare two lists of ten ways to cut back on stress.

List #1. Top item: Find An Outlet - A hobby, like fishing

List #2. Top item: Be passionate - About how your work improves people's lives

Which one do you think would help YOU more?

Something to ponder for those who pick #1: Why does your work have to be something so unpleasant and stressful that you need a break from it? That was the whole point of the wonderful book, "Get Back in the Box" by Doug Rushkoff.

Do what you love madly and at least you will be feeling good about yourself. Plus those around you will be delighted to have gotten to interact with you about that thing, versus someone who is so stressed out by what they do, or who just does it for the money.

Anyway, the two lists of ten ways to relieve stress are right here:

"Oh, it's expensive!" said, um, who?"

The other night I had dinner with a friend at Chicago's Maria's Mexican restaurant, near the airport. Wonderful warm place, great food and drinks.

The rotund and super friendly waiter padded over and asked if we wanted drinks. We decided on Margaritas with their "best" tequila - Patron Anejo. I was toying with having a double, and the waiter goes, "Oh, that's expensive! We make really good strong ones. Why don't you try it first and see THEN if you like another shot?"

I already liked him, but then I really liked him. We left him a giant tip.

When's the last time a sales sort who stands to benefit from the size of your purchase, (the tip in this case, it being a percent of the cost of the meal) advised you NOT to buy something more expensive that YOU bring up, until you try what they think will do the trick for you, for less?

According to American stress researchers Drs. T. H. Holmes and Richard Rahe, financial problems and credit difficulties are a common source of stress. Credit-card debt has also been implicated as one of the leading causes of divorce.

Ironically, many people get a credit card because they think it is convenient and will help make their lives easier. That's true if you don't overspend and pay your debts on time.

But if you go beyond your credit limit and pay only a little amount of your outstanding balance every month - which is what banks and other credit outfits want you to do - you'll be starting a vicious cycle that could keep you in debt forever.

"Remember that a bad credit record will dog you for years. Nothing can screw up your life faster than going overboard with your credit cards. Your card payment record will shadow you in everything you do, including buying a home (or renting), getting a job, and opening a checking account," said financial journalists Robert K. Heady and Christy Heady in "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Managing Your Money."

To avoid stress, the wrinkles it brings, and break free from the credit card trap, here are some practical tips from Dermaxin, a powerful wrinkle-fighter that will keep your skin young, soft, and vibrant. For details, go to

Know your credit limit based on your income, amount of current debt, and credit history. A rule of thumb is that your total monthly debt should not exceed 38 percent of your monthly income.

Carry only the number of cards you need, even though you haven't used up your credit line.

Don't apply for more than one card at a time.

Pay against your balance ASAP. Don't let bills hang around. Every day you wait is going to cost you more in interest.

If you can't make your payments on time, or if you want to dispute a charge, contact your card issuer immediately - and put everything in writing.
