Question

mindy wants to save money to buy a new couch. which would be the best strategy for her to accomplish her goal? adopt a dog from a shelter stop paying her credit card bill decrease the budget for basic food needs forgo watching movies online or in the theater

Explanation:

To save money for a new couch, Mindy needs to reduce non - essential expenses. Adopting a dog (first option) will likely increase expenses (food, vet bills, etc.). Stopping credit card payments (second option) is not a good financial practice as it leads to fees, interest, and credit score damage. Decreasing the budget for basic food needs (third option) is unwise as food is a necessity. Forgoing watching movies online or in the theater (fourth option) is a non - essential expense cut, so it's the best strategy.

Answer:

D. forgo watching movies online or in the theater (assuming the options are labeled A - D in order as given: A. adopt a dog from a shelter, B. stop paying her credit card bill, C. decrease the budget for basic food needs, D. forgo watching movies online or in the theater)
