EXPRESSION ECRITE
To what extent do you think money-related stress can affect your everyday life?
Express your opinion.

FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, money can cause stress because we worry about having enough money to retire.
IN MY OPINION, there is an impact on mental health because it gives anxiety so it can lead to burnout.
TO ME, having money debts can affect your everyday life, above all your mental wellbeing because we have the impression not to feel free.
AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED, money- related stress will affect my everyday life when I do the shopping to feed my family, because food is more and more expensive and it will be necessary to set a tigth budget.
TO MY MIND, if I don’t have enough money I can’t pay my bills and this is very stressful.
