93. (p. 78)Explain why opportunity cost is an important concept in money management. Answers will vary Feedback: Opportunity costs are the trade-offs that come from having to give up something when you make a decision. Every decision carries with it an opportunity cost. This is especially important to remember in money management because choosing one path, such as saving your money for the future, means you will have to forego what you could have bought with that money today. The opposite of course is also true. Spending your money today means you won’t have it in the future and you will also miss out on the interest that you could have earned by saving. It is very important to keep this in mind when mapping out your plan for managing your money.
