2. The correct answer is b. Save a certain percentage of each paycheck and deposit it directly into your savings account.Explanation:- Option a is not an effective strategy because it relies on leftover money, which may not be sufficient for saving.- Option b is an effective strategy because it involves setting aside a specific percentage of each paycheck and depositing it directly into a savings account, ensuring consistent saving.- Option c is not an effective strategy because it prioritizes wants and needs over saving.- Option d is not an effective strategy because payday loans typically come with high interest rates, which can lead to debt rather than saving.3.
