A record 78% of Japanese people feel anxious or worried, according to a new government survey.

That's the highest proportion in the 43 years the government has been asking people about these feelings.

Common worries among the adults who took part included health, life after retirement, and future income. Almost 64% of people said they're worried about their health, while 63% said they're worried about what their lives will look like after they stop working.

This was quite a small survey, however, and it was done by mail, with only 1,830 people across the country taking part.

Previous surveys have been done in person, and the government said people should be cautious before making comparisons between this year's survey and those done in the past.

But the survey did find that people in Japan are a little happier with their finances this year than they were in 2023.

However, 66% of people said they think the government should do more to combat inflation.

It's not just in Japan that people are anxious. Other reports have found that this is a real problem around the world.

At the end of 2023, almost half of young workers from seven countries said they found it difficult to work because they were so worried about what they saw in the news. Many felt they were living in a time of uncertainty, with wars happening across the world and geopolitical tensions rising.

Japanese People More Anxious than Ever — Survey

You know, there were times when I hit some serious rough patches, and I was just about ready to throw in the towel. But you wanna know what kept me going? It was my "why". My reason for diving into this whole thing was like a fire in my belly, burning bright and fierce. When your "why" is rock-solid, it's like a forcefield against giving up, no matter how tough it gets. What's your why?

THREE THINGS TO AVOID TO HAVE A WEALTH MINDSET

A Chinese company claims it has built an electric vehicle battery that charges faster than any other.

The company, called Zeekr, says the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 10 minutes and 30 seconds — but only when the car is plugged into one of the company's super-fast charging stations.

It calls this a new charging speed record, although it can be hard to compare the charging speeds of different vehicles because some charging stations do not work as fast as others.

But, for example, Tesla's Model 3 can be charged to about half its range in 15 minutes.

A number of other EVs can boost their range by almost 200 kilometers with a 10-minute charge.

But Zeekr says that in 10-and-a-half minutes its new battery could be charged enough to boost a vehicle's range by about 500 kilometers.

The first of its cars to include the new battery is the 2025 Zeekr 007, which is on sale in China now.

Zeekr says it has already opened more than 500 of its super-fast charging stations in China, and plans to have 10,000 in 2026.

Chinese companies have been busy making EVs, offering customers a large amount of choice — something that people in some other countries, like the US, have been frustrated by.

As well as operating in China, Zeekr began selling its vehicles in the Netherlands and Sweden last year.

It plans to begin operating in Singapore by the end of 2024, and to open showrooms in Japan and South Korea in 2025.

One of the weirdest things about British culture is the way we enjoy our visits to cemeteries. Cemeteries, otherwise known as graveyards, are places where you can find British people relaxing with a cup of tea, perhaps, uh, a bottle of Coca-Cola or with a sandwich. It's a little bit strange. Now, I've lived in many countries across the world, and I have to say that only in Britain are we completely detached from the feelings associated with tombs, graves and dead people.
 If you go to a restaurant in the UK, particularly a cafe, you may even find that it was once a church.  There are churches around which close, and then they're sold to restaurant owners, or they become pubs, and you find yourself walking across these tombs without even thinking about it. To avoid any difficulties or problems with this. Some restaurants and pubs will lay carpets on the floor so that you won't actually see the names of those who've died.  Not to worry though, because these people who've died, usually they've died hundreds of years ago. It's not like they died last week. I'm not sure if that makes it worse or makes it better.
