A new study from the BBC shows that after money isn't easy. Over 109,000 people took in the BBC's Big Money Test. It was one of the biggest ever studies on the of money. One of the biggest findings is that money makes many people bad. Researchers say over 40 per cent of us always worry about money; a third of us worry about money; and the same percentage feel when spending money on themselves. The study found that women like to go shopping to make themselves feel better about life, while men are more to save their cash. Women are more with their money and are also more likely to from money problems.

The researchers also looked at shops try and make us spend our money. It showed how stores are continually looking at new ways to make us buy things on . It asks why candies and chocolate are always by the in supermarkets; why " essentials like bread and milk are at the back of shop so you have to walk through as many as possible to reach them;" and why the perfume and jewellery are always at the front of a department store. The test says that buying things on impulse can be bad for our : "People who bought goods impulsively were three times more likely to go , and four times more likely to out of money by the of the week."
