Fareena: Most people are, sadly, rather ignorant when it comes to financial planning. As a result, many find themselves destitute in their old age, unable to afford even basic necessities. The government should mandate that all working individuals invest 20% of their monthly income into a state retirement fund. This step would take care of the issue of lack of financial planning and thus, solve for good, the cost of living crisis among the elderly.
Paul: I think your conclusion is wrong. People should be able to spend or save their money as they see fit. In the case of adults, at least, it is the individual’s responsibility to manage their finances, not the government’s.
In the table, select the most serious flaw in Fareena’s reasoning and the most serious flaw in Paul’s reasoning. Make only two selections, one in each column.
