A recent college graduate lines up a two-year assignment teaching English abroad. During the first year, he will receive a stipend of $50,000. During the second year, there will be no compensation, so he will need to live off his savings from the first year.

a. First-year consumption will decrease.
b. First-year consumption will stay the same.
