What are the causes of stress?

Following, three articles on what may be the causes of stress.

The capitalist world requires us to work for many hours a day. When we arrive at home, we continue thinking about our job. What we have to do tomorrow, next week, next month. We forget we have a family and friends. We are always running to do all things we suppose we need to do.
So we do not have fun anymore. Only work. We do not see the things around us. Nature, the animals. We do not listen to the sounds around us. The song of the birds. We cannot see the shine of the stars, the shine of the sun. the full moon. We forget to thank God for our life. No, we do not forget, we do not have time.
People suffer from stress because they forget to divide their lives in time of work and time to have fun. The fact is we need to work but we need to remember we have family and friends. We need to reserve a time to speak with our family, another time to go out with friends. We need time to date, and we need time to be alone by ourselves. When we can do this, we can be happier.

Nowadays, it seems that the number of stressed people has increased from some years ago. It may be because life is more difficult and competitive than it used to be.
It is not easy to find a job, and when you find it the pay is usually not good. This fact causes a lot of worry, because the cost of living is very high and some people have family depending on them. In women, what commonly causes stress is that they have to work
and at the same time take care of the house and their children. They have too many things to worry about.
Teenagers have stress when they start having to decide about what they will do in the future. It is difficult for them to decide which career to choose so early in life.
There are so many things that causes stress, such as traffic, impolite people, fighting with somebody you love, hearing your boss complaints and many other
things.
In my opinion, what mostly causes stress is lack of money. When you are broke, you cannot do almost anything. You cannot go out to enjoy yourself, as going to the movies, go to parties or traveling. You have to stay home and in my case, that causes me a lot of stress.
Moreover, you cannot buy anything and sometimes you cannot even pay your bills. That causes many worries.
If you have money, most of your problems are solved. In conclusion, worries causes stress, and people who have to struggle more in life usually have more stress then those who have an easier life.
