7 pécunier
adj. Des problèmes pécuniers: Financial problems. Du point de vue pécunier, ça va! I'm alright where money's concerned! (Unlexicalized in traditional dictionaries, pécunier is rife in spoken French where pécuniaire should be used; there is no feminine, as it would overlap phonetically with the correct adjective. Colloquial grammar rejects des problèmes pécuniaires because it does not 'sound right' gender-wise.)
