Answer: The TPP could lead to income disparity and also increase in the prices of certain products.

Explanation:

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was a free trade agreement that was made between the United States of America and eleven other countries. The TPP was between Canada, Vietnam, Japan, Peru Australia, Brunei, Mexico, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United States.

The TPP was met with political resistance because it was believed that free trade agreements will lead to income inequality especially in high income countries as most of the gains gotten would go to employees with high income.

Also, the TPP protected patents and copyrights and this could have led to more income for the owners of intellectual property which could have led to a reduction in the availability of cheap drugs.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

spending

Explanation:

At the very basic level of personal finance, you should understand the need for, and value of, a budget. A budget or spending plan is a road map for telling your money what to do each month. At its simplest, a budget lists how much income you have coming in, compared to what's going out each month. Creating a detailed and​ ​written budget allows you to make smarter decisions with your finances on a daily basis. When you're faced with spending money on something, a budget requires you to stop and think about the purchase. You realize that by spending money in one area, you won't have to spend or save elsewhere.   A budget or spending aspect of financial planning helps you to increase your cash flows by monitoring the spending patterns and nature of expenses. Finance planning which includes careful budgeting and prudent spending would help you in keeping more of the hard-earned cash.
