E225: 🎙️ Welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast with me, your host, Anna! Join us for Week 22, Day 4 of Your English Five a Day, where we serve up a daily dose of essential vocabulary to enrich your language skills. Just like getting your five-a-day with fruits and vegetables, feeding your vocabulary with five new words a day is a healthy habit for your mind.

💸 In today's episode, we delve into the world of finances and responsibilities, starting with the noun "mortgage". Next up, we explore the colourful idiom "up to your eyeballs", commonly used together with the next word, which is the noun "debt". Moving on, we discuss the verb "prioritise" and finally, we examine the adjective "negotiable".

🏡 Don't forget that we run through some pronunciation practice and a quick quiz to see what you can remember! Then,  in today's narrative, we reflect on the challenges of adulthood, particularly the financial burdens that come with it. Reminiscing about past experiences, such as buying a first car or home, we acknowledge the struggles many face, especially when it comes to managing debt and prioritizing expenses.
