2. If purchasing a major item from a door-to-door salesperson, remember to: (check all that apply)

Explanation

When purchasing a major item from a door-to-door salesperson, it is important to be cautious and take certain precautions. Always be careful when allowing strangers into your home to ensure your safety. Never buy on impulse and ask the seller to come back when you've had time to consider the purchase, as this will prevent making hasty decisions. It is crucial to protect your personal and financial information, so never give out your credit card or bank account number unless you have verified the seller's reputation and history with the BBB. Additionally, never sign a contract or any document with blank spaces left, as this can lead to potential issues. Lastly, never be pressured or rushed into making a purchase, as it is important to make an informed decision.

3. If you are short on cash and want to buy a big ticket item, consider:

Explanation

Waiting until you can afford the purchase is the best option because it avoids incurring additional debt or financial obligations. Rent-To-Own services and Payday Loan Agencies often come with high interest rates and fees, making the cost of the item much higher in the long run. Borrowing from your 401(k) account should be avoided as it can have negative consequences on your retirement savings. Therefore, waiting until you have enough money to make the purchase without borrowing or incurring debt is the most financially responsible choice.

They may also find that there are great deals available from vendors trying to unload inventory, as businesses may be struggling to sell their products. Additionally, it could be more difficult to obtain financing for big-ticket purchases due to stricter lending requirements.

Explanation

The focus when answering an employee's Money Coaching question should not be on whether the information will be valid next year.

Explanation

Additionally, Saturday evenings are often less crowded compared to other times, allowing shoppers to have a more relaxed and enjoyable shopping experience.

10. Lemon laws protect consumers:

Explanation

Lemon laws protect consumers against obvious defects directly from the manufacturer. These laws are designed to provide legal recourse to consumers who have purchased a defective product, such as a car, and are unable to get it repaired or replaced by the manufacturer. Lemon laws vary by state, but they generally require the manufacturer to either refund the purchase price or provide a replacement vehicle if the defect cannot be fixed within a certain number of attempts or within a specific time period. These laws aim to ensure that consumers are not stuck with faulty products and have legal protection in such situations.
