speaker What is something that I worry about? Well, I don't think I am unusual in worrying about money like everyone does these days. Making sure you have enough of it. Making sure that you are secure 2 for your future. Making sure you have enough to do what you need to do all of the time, so I think that's probably the biggest worry but I don't think that's unusual at all.
Mark, England
speaker What do I worry about? The most thing I worry about is money because I never have any. Also because I'm living overseas 3 at the moment, I worry about my family and my mom and dad because if anything happens to them then I am a long way from home so it would take a long time to get back home.
Lisa, Canada
speaker What is something I worry about? Well, there are many things that I worry about. Two of probably the biggest things that I worry about are money and getting fat. Money of course because I like shopping a lot and use my credit 4 card more than I should probably and getting fat because any women in their thirties, that's what they're obsessed 5 about especially if they are single.
Phil, England
speaker What do I worry about? I think my biggest worry at the moment is a career. I'm 26 now and I've spend a lot of the last fews years traveling around since I left university and most of my friends have settled 6 down and have a good job and a good career behind them, so sometimes I do worry that when I go back I will be too old for companies to want me, so I'm slightly worried about having a future career.
Barbara, Australia
speaker So, what do I worry about? I guess I worry about the usual things, for example, having money in the bank and being healthy. I guess being healthy is what's most important to me so I take care of to exercise and I watch what I eat because I need this body to last me at least another fifty years.
Conrad, The United States
speaker What do I worry about? That's a tough question. I don't worry that much but sometimes I do think about after my retirement 7 and where am I going to be living, what are my kids going to be doing. Can I still support them? Can I send them to college? but that's a very minor 8 worry and I don't think I worry about much.
