Spending• Spending --- using money to purchase goods and

services. • The way a person

Law of Scarcity• Law of Scarcity: An economic system cannot produce all

goods and services that consumers want, and most consumers do not have the resources to purchase everything they want. – Choices must be made about how limited resources (time, money)

are used.

Page 25: Understanding the Financial Planning Process. Rewards of Sound Financial Planning Improving your standard of living Spending money wisely Accumulating

Trade-offs and Opportunity Costs• Because of scarcity, any time a choice is made there

are alternatives that are not chosen.

• When making a choice, other alternatives must be sacrificed.

• The highest-valued alternative that must be given up when a choice is made is the opportunity cost of the choice.

• The choice of one item while giving up another is called a trade-off.
