Eva always wanted to be a veterinarian. She just got her license and opened her own practice. Her next goal would be to buy a house within the year; however, she decided to take $1,000 out of her paycheck per month to pay off her student loans. In four years, she will pay off her loans and then she will use $1,000 a month to save for a down payment. Which best describes what Eva is doing?
Answer
A
She is not prioritizing and needs to further adjust her short-term goals.
B
She is prioritizing her goals and adjusting from a long-term to a short-term goal.
C
She is prioritizing her goals and adjusting from a short-term to a long-term goal.
D
She is not prioritizing and needs to further adjust her long-term goals.
Explanation
Buying a house within a year is a short-term goal, while paying off her student loans will take four years. Eva is choosing to focus on the loan payoff first and save for a down payment afterward, so she is prioritizing her goals and shifting the house purchase to a longer-term goal. The best choice is C: she is adjusting from a short-term goal to a long-term goal.
