B. Cliff and Rob seem to think less about saving money

than Kathy does.

C. Kathy doesn't care how she looks as long as she can

save money. Sounds Like You Have a Budget Problem

Tim: Hi, Carina. You look upset. What's up?

Carina: Well, I'm trying to figure out where all my money has gone.

Tim: You've lost your money? Was there a burglary at your place? Carina: No, no. I seem to have spent all my allowance for this month. Now I don't even have money to go out and eat. Tim: Hey, I thought you had a good part-time job at the mall.

Carina: I do. I work about twenty hours a week, and the pay's not bad, nine dollars and fifty cents an hour.

Tim: Really? So that's, what, a hundred and ninety dollars a week ... times four weeks ... so that's seven hundred and sixty dollars a month. Hey, that's not a bad income for a student!

Carina: I know. And my parents send me two hundred and fifty dollars a

month, too. But ...

Tim: Wow, that's more than one thousand dollars a month. And you can't live on that?

Carina: No, I only manage to save about ten dollars a month. It's a drag! Tim: It sounds like you have a budget problem. Simple, either work more or spend less.

Carina: I'm definitely not going to work more. I'll have no time to study. Tim: So you'd better start spending less. Why don't you make a monthly

budget?

Carina: A budget? Hmm, maybe ... Hey, Tim, you majored in economics, right? Tim: Uh, yeah?

Carina: And you work in a bank now, in the loan section, right?

Tim: Uh, yeah, why?

Carina: Well, you're the best person to help me make a budget!
