SOLUTION 

1.       What are some behaviors or choices that you have a tendency to do (habits, perceptions, stress or other health-detrimental aspects of your life) that you might need to work on? How might these serve as obstacles to later life success?

My lack of financial prudence has led to some poor choices. I opted to spend a year at a community college before moving away for university and sharing a house with several friends, rather than remaining at home and completing an associate’s degree first. In the future, when I am in financial hardship as a result of my own poor financial choices as a young adult, I will appreciate the worth of a dollar like never before. Even if you work full-time and go to school full-time, it will take a long to pay off your debt. Family is very important to me, which is why I choose to spend my holiday with them. Knowing how fleeting life is, I value quality time spent with loved ones above all else……..

Plenty of people choose to not have children for various reasons. Personal choices include not wanting children, not being financially stable, wanting to travel and experience life, not wanting the responsibility of children, one’s partner does not want children, and not wanting children to experience pain and hardships the parent faced.…..please click the purchase button below to access the entire solution at $10
