List as many of the costs and benefits of each decision below as you can. It's natural for some decisions to have more costs or benefits than others, so don't worry about having equal-sized lists. As you answer these questions, keep in mind that cost includes many factors such as money, time, effort, and sacrifices. Also remember that both costs and benefits are subjective, so a cost to you might actually be a benefit to someone else and vice versa.1. Completing these questions instead of doing something else2.
