Why is our stress system more suited for “getting attacked by lions” than modern financial worries?

It’s not. If you see the prey that is being attacked and escaped has no problem after a few seconds to go out and about and start grazing as if nothing happened. It has to do with our biology and big complex brain.
If you get attacked by a lion now, you will get PTSD or some kind of trauma, which will change your brain every so slightly; add more of those traumatic events and you have a depressed brain; add to that the life span humans have and the different mutations they inherit you have an overactive sympathetic system that can not calm down.
