Answer: If Mariah hired a financial planner to examine her money management he would point out from her plans that the part that needs to work on is the down payment of 10,000 on a house. The reason being that it would lower the amount of money that she has saved. And the budget that she has is not very high since she also has to pay for her car insurance and life insurance.
