Have you ever been in a situation where you’ve felt anxious about money and why? What did you do to make yourself feel less anxious?

I have 12p and an opal fruits wrapper in my savings. One day I misplaced my opal fruits wrapper. I felt very anxious. I found the wrapper later in the washing machine. I felt less anxious

I am really sorry if this comes across snippy @Liveandletlive90 but I find posts like this uncomfortable.

Why are you asking? Are you currently experiencing a dilemna at the moment with money, so perhaps you could share to give context as to why you're asking this?

Can you see how just opening a thread saying "what's the most anxious you've felt about money, and WHY?" comes across as a little punchy - as in, you have the right to just demand from people to share their stories abstractly, and as an OP you don't share anything else back first?

So yeah - forgive me but I won't share anything. You first etc.

(Also we have a Money Matters board, but hey, no one seems to care about that either).
