Marjorie has twelve credit cards and is $26,000 in debt. She works as a dental assistant and makes $18,000 per year. Since Marjorie does not have enough money to keep up with her life style, what solution would have the most immediate effect on her money problems?
- The most immediately effect on her money problems? A. Spend less
- B. Go back to college
- C. Work for a different dentist
- D. Buy lottery tickets
Correct Answer

A. The most immediately effect on her money problems? A. Spend less

Explanation

Marjorie's immediate solution to her money problems would be to spend less. By reducing her expenses, she can start saving money and use it to pay off her debt. This will help her gradually improve her financial situation. Going back to college or working for a different dentist may have long-term benefits but will not provide an immediate solution to her current debt. Buying lottery tickets is a risky and unreliable solution that is unlikely to solve her money problems.

It implies being punctual and dedicated to completing the assigned tasks within the designated working hours. This demonstrates a responsible and committed approach towards work.
