Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.58 Personal Finance Earning, Spending, and Saving skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A student says: “If I earn more money, I don’t need a plan.”

Which response best applies personal finance (earning, spending, saving) to this situation?

AEarning more always fixes money problems, so planning is unnecessary.

BPlanning matters only when you have debt.

CSaving happens automatically when income rises.

DEven with higher income, you still need to budget spending and set savings goals so money goes where you choose.

Solution & Explanation:More income helps, but without budgeting and saving goals, spending can rise too. Personal finance is managing choices about earning, spending, and saving.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A goal is to save $780 in one year. Plan A: save $60 per month. Plan B: save $15 per week.

Which plan meets the goal, assuming 12 months and 52 weeks in a year?

APlan A meets the goal; Plan B falls short

BBoth plans fall short

CPlan B meets the goal exactly; Plan A falls short by $60

DBoth plans exceed the goal

Solution & Explanation:Plan A: 60×12 = 720 (short 60). Plan B: 15×52 = 780 (meets).

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A community savings program adds 50 cents for every $1 a student saves, up to $6 saved each month. For example, if you save $6, the program adds $3.

Which strategy captures the FULL savings match for the month?

ASave $3 during the month

BSave at least $6 during the month

CSave $10 only after spending on wants

DSave $1 and stop
