Question

You received a gift card for your birthday to your favorite electronics store. You are trying to decide if you should buy the really cool camera or save the gift card for a later purchase. In a brief paragraph, create a cost-benefit analysis using each of the steps to come to a conclusion

Answer 1

Well, if you want that "Super Cool" camera, you're going to buy it eventually anyway, right? So, either use the gift card towards it, or use your own money and use the gift card towards something you may possibly want in the future. Personally, I'd get the camera now with it and save your money for a later purchase.
