Because he was assassinated by Serbian rebels. Most of Europe was allied with someone, a tangle of alliances. Serbia was allied Russia. Austria-Hungary didn't like Serbia. Well when the Archduke decided to visit Sarajevo, he was assassinated by a Serbian assassin. Because of that, Austria-Hungary wanted to punish Serbia and declared war. Well Austria-Hungary was allied with Germany and Italy. And Serbia was allied with Russia. Well Russia attacked Austria-Hungary and Russia was allied with both Great Britain and France.... So it triggered a chain reaction like that.
D i think? Im not 100% but thats what makes sense
Since Carl has to adjust his budget, due to having less money in hand than expected, he must adjust his <em>"net"</em> income.
To make this more clear, let's go through it a bit more. For example, Carl knew he was making $10 per hour. If he worked 15 hours a week, he assumed that his check would be written for $150 ($10 x 15 hours = $150).
He was correct that he <em>"made"</em> $150 dollars. This was his <em>"gross"</em> pay. Gross pay means the money you receive <em>before</em> taxes are taken out of your check.
Now that Carl knows that his check will not be written the the <em>"gross"</em> amount, but for the <em>"net"</em> amount (money paid after taxes and withholdings were taken out), he should adjust how much money he has to start with. Once he adjusts the money he "<em>brings in"</em>, he can better understand how to budget and allocate his finances.
