What does financial worry mean for people? The answer depends on objective factors such as how much you earn and subjective perceptions about what constitutes a financially secure life in your particular society.

Thus, it may be correct to assume that people struggling to make ends meet worry more about money than those with savings and access to credit. However, there are broader societal factors that also influence worry beyond income levels, for example, the quality of healthcare systems and the effectiveness of social security programmes.
