1. Read the following passage and use it to respond to the prompt. (15 points) Don't Forget to Save
When you get your first job, the last thing in the world you're thinking about is
saving money for the future. However, if you do not set aside money, you
could run into some long-term problems. Sure, you know how much your cell
phone bill will be each month. If you have a car payment to make, you know
exactly what the amount of that bill will be. These are the expenses you can
plan for. However, what if the brakes on the car need to be replaced? Or
worse yet, what if the car breaks and you cannot drive it? If you haven't been
saving money from your paychecks all along, you won't be able to afford these
expenses. You'll either have to borrow money from your monthly budget to
pay for the unexpected cost, which means you won't have enough money to
pay your regular bills, you'll have to choose to not make these repairs,
which will make you unable to drive your car to work. In the long run, not
saving money is a bad choice.
