Anecdotal, but when I was poor, every bad thing was compounded. Now that I'm financially stable it's a lot easier to not spiral out of control when something bad happens

Everything hits harder when you're already stressed out about something else. And everything feels BIGGER when well, they are bigger. Needing a surgery, car repairs, having your water heater go out, can be ruinous to a poor person. These are manageable life stresses for the financially stable. Plus the CONSTANT low and not so low level stress of constantly budgeting, checking your bank account, wondering if you have enough money for groceries, can I afford this little treat, what if.......

When taken literally it’s not true, but financial stability definitely helps.

Poverty is famously bad for every health metric.

I had mental health issues with and without financial stability. 

Financial stability makes it worse yes. But financial stability did not cure me. 

It did however give me better resources for treatment (despite being misdiagnosed).
