Yes, I do. Because if people have more money, they may want to buy more things and spend more. Then it can be harder to manage their money.
No, I don’t. Because more money does not always mean more problems. If people use their money wisely, they can live better and help others, too.

Yes, I will. Because dream tins can help me save money for important things and use my money in a better way.

Thank you!
