In case you need a rest from the credit crunch and the financial breakdown, California has just the thing for you. It's a place where the broken-hearted can release the stress of their shattered dreams.

Tough times for world economies: stocks are down, jobs are being cut and people are losing their savings, sense of security – and nerve.
 
So what do you do with all the frustration? Take it to Sarah's Smash Shack for the break you've been dreaming of – quite literally!

The shops offers you a large number of goods you can destroy in a specially-equipped room to get a relief from stress.

“You are not supposed to break stuff. And it’s kind of what this is about, it’s about be able to do something your not supposed to do,” expplains Sarah Lavely, Smash Shack co-owner

It’s definitely not the easiest of times to start a business. But that is precisely what has turned Sarah's idea into a smashing success.

And with E-day just around the corner, the Shack will stay open all through November 4 for voter stress relief.
