which of the following is an effective strategy for personal saving?
google translate

• wait until the end of the month and save whatever is left in your checking account
• cover all of your wants and needs and save whatever is left over
• save a certain percentage of each paycheck and deposit it directly into a savings account
• take out a payday loan so you can save before you receive your paycheck

Explanation:

• The first option (waiting until month - end) is unreliable as expenses may deplete the checking account, leaving little to save.
• The second option (covering wants/needs first) often leads to little or no savings as wants/needs can be extensive.
• The third option (saving a percentage of each paycheck directly) is effective. It's a systematic approach, ensuring savings are prioritized and consistent, as the money is moved to savings before other expenses are considered.
• The fourth option (payday loan for saving) is unwise. Payday loans have high interest rates, leading to debt and not a true savings strategy.

Answer:

C. Save a certain percentage of each paycheck and deposit it directly into a savings account
