In terms of divorce, are there health concerns to consider? (Thinkstock)

The effects of separation are crucial. According to the recent Census Bureau report released earlier this month, there is an increased number of single Americans, and about 106.4 million citizens are included in this group of households. The primary causative factor of this growing rate is divorce. Divorce is another stage of adjustment. It is a sensitive family issue that primarily should bring stability and security among every household member.

Irony of marriage

Divorce is a life-changing event, just like marriage. Marriage is a challenge; it is a life-long commitment and exploration. It is an adventure in which many couples  find happiness and contentment. Marriage is a mixture of joy and pain, pleasure and difficulty, and love and sacrifice. Today, couples are resorting to the separation of this life-long pledge for various of reasons. Infidelity, incompatibility, violence and miscommunication are some of the many reasons why couples choose to divorce.

Statistical outcomes

America’s health departments conducted several studies on modern family life. The National Survey of Family Growth is the study that focuses on nationwide family issues regarding marriage, fertility, divorce, pregnancy and children’s health. Divorce rates for the past five years were one of the data-gathering projects facilitated by the group led by Bramlett, Matthew and William Mosher.

In the research, women ages 15-44 years old were used as a sample in 1995. It was published in National Center for Health Statistics that 43 percent of the marriages studied ended in a divorce. Most couples in crisis overlooked the option of obtaining a payday loan or an installment loan to help fund marriage counseling.

Health concern

Divorce is also a health concern. Its aftermath is critical, though there are valid reasons for every separation. Children, however, are the most affected in every divorce. Just like any couple, they also experience certain adjustments and a change in routines. Health compromises the entirety of an individual’s wellness. The physical, socio-emotional, psychological and spiritual dimensions are included in assessing health. It is a continuous re-examination of the advantages and disadvantages of the decision.

For better or for worse

Research psychologists E. Mavis Hetherington and John Kelly published a study titled “For Better or for Worse: Divorce Reconsidered” in 2002. Their investigation proved that 25 percent of children are distressed by divorce. These children considered separation of their parents as a traumatic event. Invalidating marriage also causes stages of grieving — denial, bargaining, anger, depression and acceptance. The processing of pertinent documents is fast. However, it takes years to accept the reality of farewell.

Note: Sample data was drawn from 175,892 visitors from these 10 cities in the last ninety days. It should be noted that the majority of the visitors were to the financial news blog part of the site and not the section just for people who want a payday loan or cash advance.

Interesting Conclusions About Personal Money Market’s Trends

The people who visit Personal Money Market are not always from the locations that were specifically targeted. It just goes to show that you can’t always predict who your customers or clients will be.

New York Statistical Inferences

Almost 1% of New York City’s population has visited Personal Money Market in the last 90 days.

Of those who apply, New Yorkers are the most impatient and have a higher rate of leaving the site before completing an application. (Could just be haten on our style though! )

Compared to other cities whose visitors complete an application, New Yorkers have an average chance of getting their loan approved. This is significant because New York has very strict lending laws which many lenders shy away from.

Atlanta Loves Personal Money Market

Almost 3% of Atlanta’s population has visited in the last 90 days.

Visitors from Atlanta have the second highest percentage of getting a loan approved in the United States relative to population.

Not trivial is the fact that compared to other cities Atlanta has the second lowest application completion to application funded rate. That means there are a lot of people applying who get denied. The reason for this is Georgia has very strict lending laws that prevent approvals. (Sorry to our friends in Georgia! )

Houston Residents Love to Apply on Personal Money Market

Almost 1% of Houston’s population has visited in the last 90 days.

Texans from Houston seem more patient than New Yorkers and relative to population complete almost twice as many applications. Of the visitors who do not exit the site, people from Houston are almost 3 times more likely to apply for a payday loan or cash advance than New Yorkers. (Bigger is better and for us, the more applications the better! )

Compared to the rest of the country, people in Houston have an average chance of getting approved for a loan.

Sub Prime Lenders Love Chicago

Chicago is about average on all statistics except the most important one. Applicants from Chicago have a higher than average chance of getting approved for a loan. (These statistics seem to defy job market statistics. )

People in DC have less than average patience with Personal Money Market and leave the site before applying. (Probably haten on our style also! )

Out of all the residents in DC .03% have actually applied for a loan on Personal Money Market.

About .0065% of people from a computer located in Washington DC have been approved for a loan through Personal Money Market. That is the highest approval rate in the nation, based on relative population statistics.

Outstandingly, Washington DC residents who apply for a payday loan or cash advance have about a 21% chance of getting approved. That is an insane number that is higher than Phoenix and Los Angeles. (People from DC, we love you! )
