Many people believe that good self-care requires money - only the rich have the resources to invest in themselves. I met two people who explained how my thinking was understandable, but mistaken.

At one point in the new film The Art of the Steal, one of the people protesting the moving of Dr. Albert Barnes' art collection (Picasso, Modigliani, ...
Here's the thing about New Year's Resolutions: people plus change equals difficulty. As adults, we get in our habitual mode of operations, and change is hard.

No rational person would keep skiing if his motivation was to win an Olympic medal. Rather, Miller's gold medal was the offshoot of a talented guy doing what he was passionate about.

Your sense of status, place in life and well-being may have come to depend upon a level of income and expenditure. Expectations dashed, disappointment and financial loss can make for deep-seated misery.

While unemployment is ravaging every part of the workforce, perhaps hardest hit are fresh college graduates who can't get started. For these young people the damage can be deep and long-lasting.
