Question

unit 3 assessment
you overhear your aunt tina tell your mom that she, her husband, and their kids are \living paycheck to paycheck.\ what does aunt tina mean by that?
aunt tina gets a paycheck one month, and her husband gets a paycheck the next month; they alternate pay periods
aunt tina and her family dont have any money saved, and their paychecks are just barely covering monthly expenses, so they use every dollar every month
aunt tina and her family have high paying jobs and dont worry much about money
aunt tina uses her paychecks as income to deposit into her checking and savings accounts

Explanation:

To determine what "living paycheck to paycheck" means, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Alternating pay periods doesn't relate to the phrase's meaning.
• Option 2: "Living paycheck to paycheck" means income (paychecks) is just enough to cover monthly expenses with no savings, matching this description.
• Option 3: High - paying jobs and not worrying about money is the opposite of living paycheck to paycheck.
• Option 4: Depositing into accounts doesn't define the phrase; it's about covering expenses, not account usage.

Answer:

Aunt Tina and her family don't have any money saved, and their paychecks are just barely covering monthly expenses, so they use every dollar every month
