Take a Break
No matter what triggers your stress, there’s no denying the impact it has on both your physical and mental wellness. We found financial troubles were the leading cause of stress among those surveyed, and millennials were more likely to be stressed (particularly about their finances) than other generations. However, people who managed to take at least one vacation a year were significantly less likely to be stressed and more likely to identify as happy.

Methodology and Limitations
To collect the data presented above, two surveys were run using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk service. For the first survey (people who had been on at least one vacation in the past year), respondents were made up of 114 baby boomers, 285 Gen Xers, 459 millennials, and 15 people from generations outside those. For the first survey, there were 465 men, 522 women, and two people who chose to identify as neither. For the second survey (people who had not gone on any vacations in the last year), there were 22 baby boomers, 32 Gen Xers, 115 millennials, and one person from a generation outside those. The second survey contained responses from 86 men and 84 women.
To qualify for the first survey, respondents had to have been on at least one vacation in the past year, and to qualify for the second survey, respondents had to have not been on a vacation in the past year. All data presented above rely on self-reporting, which can be host to a number of issues including telescoping and exaggeration. To combat these issues, an attention check was added to ensure respondents paid attention. Regarding the top stressors of respondents, they were asked to choose up to three things that stressed them the most.
