## Resource

Colorado’s affordability crisis is hitting hard—76% of residents fear they can’t stay in the state long-term, up from 70% last year. People are skipping healthcare, cutting back on joy, and taking on debt just to survive. Even middle-income earners feel the squeeze, with housing and government/politics topping their worries. A new poll by the Colorado Health Foundation reveals this financial strain is reshaping daily life, health, and future plans—proof that money and well-being are deeply intertwined.
