A broken screen more stressful than losing a wallet? I’m pretty sure that has to do with 1/5 millennials being broke and having nothing of value in that wallet.

Maybe they just think these things are the stressors.
- wodenokoto 8y agoI have some cards in my wallet that can be blocked, a few of them might costs $5 to replace. A screen repair would cost almost $300 Every time I take out my phone, there is a little voice reminding me not to drop my phone. I never really thought about it, but I can see how that can be a "death by a thousand needles" thing in terms of stress.
- patrickk 8y agoIf its that much mental stress, get an Otterbox case or similar.
- wink 8y agoI guess the study is US-centric, but most Germans I know carry id and driver's license, so that's 100 EUR to replace already, plus getting appointments for reissue and waiting. That can be a lot worse than the phone, because that's in addition to your cash (10-100 EUR on average I'd say) and the fees for bank and credit cards. But yeah, if I only had to call a number and get one credit card reissued I wouldn't care either :P
