This is Eun-kyung Lee, host of Everyday English VOA, where you study conversation and grammar at the same time. I don’t want to interfere today. Let’s learn how to express not wanting to get involved in other people’s business in English. Let’s listen to the conversation.
A: John, have you noticed how much money David spends on things lately?
J: Yeah, I’ve noticed too. But you know, I don’t want to meddle in his financial matters. It’s his personal choice how he manages his money.
A: Right, it’s his money, but sometimes I worry he’s not saving enough.
J: I understand your concern, but people have different priorities and financial goals. If he hasn’t asked for advice, I think it’s best not to intervene. He might see it as intrusive. And the bottom line is I don’t want to meddle. Specially, when it comes to David’s problem. If he brings up the topic, we can share our thoughts. Until then, let’s not meddle in his financial choices.
