If you’re prone to financial worries, you now have a wealth of topics to fret about. Some cause more anxiety than others, though, and polling by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press finds people most rattled by inflation.

Asked to think about their own financial situation and cite the factor that worries them most, nearly half the respondents pointed to “rising prices” (49 percent). This exceeds the sum of those who picked “the job situation” (19 percent), “problems in the financial markets” (14 percent) or “declining real estate values” (12 percent).
