Top 5 Common Fears Among Americans

With Halloween quickly approaching, a new study was done asking hundreds of people to name their biggest fears. With over 1,500 votes being counted, the top 5 personal fears were:

1. Walking alone at night
2. Becoming the victim of identity theft
3. Safety on the Internet
4. Being the victim of a mass/random shooting
5. Public Speaking

While I agree with some of the fears listed above, other really scary things were left of the list. That's why I have created a much better list of things that scare the HOLY SNOT outta me:

1. Snakes... probably the worst thing on this planet!
2. Illness in my family, I don't worry about getting sick myself, but fear an incurable disease hitting a family member.
3. Not being able to support my family. I have a great job with a great company but at any time that could change. That's why a savings account is so important!
4. Heights, as a kid I was never scared of heights. Growing older has taught me to be a lot more cautious.
5. Walking alone at night... I have seen way to many crime shows to think that I can walk alone at night!

If you put together a list of your top 5 personal fears, what would make the list?
