A recent survey reveals widespread financial stress among adults in various countries. Half of respondents in the U.S., Australia, Spain, and Mexico reported feeling "stressed or somewhat stressed" about money. A significant portion of middle-class individuals described themselves as "living paycheck to paycheck." Inflation, lack of savings, and economic instability were cited as major sources of concern. Notably, many adults felt they were worse off financially than their parents and pessimistic about their children's financial prospects.
