Question

You are trying to save up for a spa package that costs $300. After looking at your paycheck, you decide that you will be able to set aside $50 a week for the next 6 weeks. Knowing this information, you call the spa to make a reservation for this package for 2 months from now. Which type of goal does this situation best describe?a. Immediateb. Long termc. Short termd. Unrealistic

Answer 1

Answer:

C is your answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Short term

Explanation:

A short term goal is a mission that one wishes to accomplish in the immediate future. In general, short goals are achieved within one year. Plans or objectives that are set to be fulfilled within one year or less are short-term goals.  Another example of a short term goal is the purchase of household furniture.

The spa package budget will be achieved in six weeks, thereby qualifying as a short term goal. Long-term goals contrast short term goals as they take longer than one year to achieve.
