Since the major portion of Pam's income is based on commission, her earnings vary from one month to the next. This situation makes it difficult for her to establish a realistic budget. During lean months, she has had to resort to using her credit card to make ends meet. In fact, her credit card debt, $3,470, is at a fairly high level. In addition, she has not been able to save much for various unexpected expenses and for her long-term financial security. During the year, Pam has had tax withholding greater than her actual tax liability. As a result, Pam is expecting a fairly large tax refund. In the past, she has always used tax refunds to finance major purchases (a vacation or furniture) or pay off credit card debt. Currently, she is also considering saving some of the money.

Scenario: You are 22 years old, unmarried, have no children, and have a take-home pay of $2,500 per month attending college. You are engaged to be married in 18 months. You have very little credit history, but you may be able to rent/buy a home and qualify for low-cost loans when you buy a new car or appliances with good reward programs and low fees and interest rates. Read each statement below and indicate whether it is a good or bad reason for using debt. Statement: When a portion of your income must be spent repaying debt and paying interest, a sacrifice in spending results. Debt provides the means to make guaranteed reservations. The availability of credit cards or easy credit is often accompanied by the potential for overspending. Debt provides the means to pay for an education. Debt provides financial flexibility in the case of emergencies. When is the use of borrowed money for an education justified? O When the cost of your education is less than the estimated additional income that the education will generate. O When the investment is expected to generate additional income that is greater than the cost. O When the required repayments can be postponed for many years. O When the education will maintain your current quality of life. O When the cost of the student loan is less than the interest rate on your credit cards. Which of the following is true regarding setting personal debt limits? Check all that apply.
