Question 137 • POP Financial Math 26/27

Which of the following statements describes a part of a reasonable method for increasing the amount of savings in the budget?

Answer
A
Keep “Essential Expenses (Fixed)” the same amount every time the budget is revised.
B
Occasionally pay a bill later than due, in order to increase available cash.
C
Find a way to reduce “Non-Essential Expenses” in the monthly budget.
D
Use only money from the coin jar towards “rainy day” expenses.

Explanation

To increase savings, look for expenses that can be reduced without neglecting necessary bills. Non-essential expenses are flexible, so cutting some of them can free up money to save. Paying bills late can lead to fees, and limiting rainy-day savings to coins would not be a sound budgeting strategy. The best choice is “Find a way to reduce ‘Non-Essential Expenses’ in the monthly budget.”
