☆  apprehensive 恐れて

============================

If you are feeling apprehensive, it means that you are fearful about the future. I was recently talking with a client, and he said that he was surprised to learn that most Americans could not survive for more than two to three months if they lost their jobs… in other words they have almost no savings to use in case of emergency. And yet, they are mostly happy and not apprehensive about the future.

On the other hand, he said that most Japanese people have enough in savings to not have to worry about losing their job. And yet, he said that most Japanese people are apprehensive about the future and what might happen.

Is this true? Do you think that Japanese people are generally apprehensive about the future and what it might bring?

Bye,
