(PRWEB) September 2, 2006 -- The ability to ascertain how much one spends in order to reduce the stresses caused by their daily employment can be a powerful tool. These findings may conclude that changing work environments or possibly even careers will greatly reduce daily stress levels therefore influencing debt levels.

A clearer picture of one’s job satisfaction becomes apparent when carefully examining how much money is spent due to job related stress. Precept Financial has created a simple Daily Occupational Stress Estimator (DOSE) to help people determine if their job dissatisfaction causes them to overspend. See

“The satisfaction we derive from our jobs is a key factor in how happy we are as individuals,” says James Partridge, Director of Human Resources at Precept Financial Solutions and internationally renowned HR speaker. “When people report overall dissatisfaction with their jobs, they tend to report spending more on stress management.”
Much can be revealed simply by asking oneself: “Am I buying this to help me with job stress?” Precept Financial’s DOSE worksheet is a pre-prepared yes/no questionnaire which includes space for listing stress-related expenses and dollar amounts. These amounts will estimate the percentage of spending due to job stress compared to job income. The formula used is provided at the bottom of DOSE worksheet. After documenting job stress-related expenses for a typical day/week/month, and applying the formula, one will have a clearer understanding of how much job stress is affecting their spending habits.
Retail industry workers commonly use the phrase “Sticker Shock” to describe consumer surprise at a given items cost or dollar value. Don’t be afraid to make a change if your DOSE estimate sends you into “Sticker Shock.” Many times even a lower paying job results in more income after stress related costs are factored.
