I will suffer more and struggle more to have enough money for my family. Firstly, I will retire soon and the total income might decrease. Secondly, the children’s school fees might cost more, and the total amount for the books might increase. The bills for the house might also go up. My health condition might go down due to my smoking habit and may result in an increase in medical fees. Hence my family would struggle more to have money for everything.
