6. Making Financial Decisions Deanne is a customer service representative for a pop-
ular fitness club. Her income is modest, but
that does not stop her from satisfying her
most important desire—to travel. Deanne
takes two vacations a year, and she has been
all over the world. She has paid for most of
her trips to faraway places with her credit
card. However, when she received the bills
for her last trip to India, reality hit hard.
Her monthly debt payments are actually
greater than her monthly net income.
