Stress Relief On A Budget: 5 Relaxation Products Under $50

 Stress Relief On A Budget: 5 Relaxation Products Under $50

We want to let you know that neither April nor the site have been paid in any way to advertise or endorse the following products on this list. In fact, she put this list together, and then we got links for them. However, we do get a small commission if you use any of the following links to purchase something. That commission assists us in running this site. Also, many of the following links we have contain discounts on the items you’ll be told about. With that out of the way, take it away April.


Stress Relief On A Budget: 5 Relaxation Products Under $50

Being underemployed can be an uncomfortable, stressful position in life. Freelancers, like myself, often worry about whether our current clients are going to continue with our services, how we are going to pay our bills if a client drops us, and which damn form to use when filing our taxes. I’m getting stressed out just thinking about doing my taxes a year from now. And my petty problems are nothing compared to what most unemployed folks are dealing with right now.

According to the US National Library of Medicine, daily hassles such as financial difficulties, often cause pent-up anger and are considered chronic stressors. Instead of releasing these stressors, we often hold them inside and allow them to suppress our immune systems, ultimately resulting in illnesses like ulcers, migraines, heart disease, and other ailments. This is a really scary epidemic that most people don’t take seriously or even think about because stress is so normal in our society.

The American Psychological Association reports that work and money are the two most common sources of stress in Americans today, and more adults are reporting extreme levels of stress than in previous years. Additionally, many people live most of their adult lives feeling stressed out because of common daily irritations like road construction and the neighbor’s Chihuahua that won’t shut the fuck up.

Making time to relax shouldn’t just be a little side activity for weekends, but rather a part of our daily routines. Whether you’re underemployed, unemployed, or stuck in a shitty, stressful job, these stress relief products can help you relax. With proper relaxation comes clearer thinking, better health, and just an overall improved sense of wellbeing.

Staying Fit While Underemployed: The Top 10 Fitness Products Under $100

 Ten Fitness Products Under 100 Dollars

I haven’t been a gym member for over five years and haven’t regretted it once. Not only do I feel that many gyms are scams, but I believe staying fit with just a few versatile pieces of fitness equipment is practical, efficient, and much more affordable.

Spending $600 to $1,200 per year on a gym membership you may only use a few times a week or less isn’t the smartest choice if you’re straight-up unemployed, underemployed, or between jobs. On the other hand, you could simply purchase everything you need to stay in-shape for a one-time cost of a hundred bucks or less and then use those workout items for years. Staying motivated and actually using equipment you purchase, however, is all up to you.

  1. Resistance & Pull-Up Band Set by Fitness Dreamer

Upon first glance, it’s tempting to underestimate these brightly-colored bands. That’s what I did until I realized how well they work. Now these simple bands are a key element to my fitness routine. The Fitness Dreamer resistance band set is one of the most versatile fitness products I’ve ever encountered. You can use them indoors, outdoors, and even while away on trips (they’re very compact). These bands are extremely lightweight and flexible, yet very durable. The blue band provides 175 lbs. of resistance, so virtually anyone at any fitness level can benefit from these simple bands.

Finding a quality aerobic platform is an essential if you’re into step aerobics or workouts that require stepping.

Plus, it won’t scratch your floors, skid, or slide around. This platform is the perfect addition to many core, strength, and aerobic workouts. It’s also incredibly durable and will last for decades. No need to attend embarrassing group classes at the health clubs when you have this handy platform in your own.

If you’re the kind of person who likes to monitor your calories and track your steps, look no further than the Garmin Vivofit Fitness Band. This stylish, yet comfortable, wristband is like having a little personal trainer with you throughout the day. For starters, it displays a red bar after you’ve been inactive for an hour, reminding you to get your ass moving. It also records calories you’ve burned throughout the day, monitors your sleep, and even assigns you a personal goal each morning based on your activity level. The Garmin Vivofit Fitness Band is also water resistant, so you can easily read your alerts and stats 24/7.
