Ace construction company contracts to build a retirement community on land owned by smith. jones, an adjoining landowner, expects the value of his land to increase greatly once the retirement community is built. ace construction company then breaches the contract to build the retirement community. in this case:
a. jones can recover against smith because he was a party to the contract with the construction company
b. jones cannot recover against the construction company as an incidental beneficiary of the company's contract with smith.
c. a and b are both true.
d. none of the above is true.

d.) Jones is an incidental beneficiary and has no right to sue for Ace Construction's breach of the contract.

Jones was not a direct party to the contract, in fact, any profit which he was supposed to receive was incidental in nature and thus he cannot sue Ace Construction's breach of the contract.

cognitive overload: having a lot on your mind impairs decision-making and tends to result in the simplest, but not necessarily best, option being selected.

empathy gaps: overlooking how you might feel in a different situation can result in unnecessary purchases, such as overbuying when shopping for food on an empty stomach.

optimism and overconfidence: wearing rose-tinted glasses and having unrealistic expectations about the future can affect money management and leave you unprepared for a change in circumstance.

instant gratification: seeking instant gratification drives impulsive spending and can undermine long-term planning and savings.

harmful habits: automatic or mindless behaviour can amplify a poor financial decision as it becomes a recurring event.

social norms: we are heavily influenced by the actions of others; while this can be in certain circumstances, it also contributes to the pressure to keep up with the joneses through conspicuous consumption.
