Directions: As mentioned in this section of the Unit, a trade-off occurs when you give something up in order to do or buy something else. For example, you might give up
playing basketball in order to play soccer, or maybe you gave up a trip to the mall with your friends to go to your grandmother's birthday party. Using the Text Editor, write
a three paragraph essay in which you discuss three trade-offs you have made; each paragraph should describe one trade-off, your incentive (what did you get/gain from
the trade-off), what you gave up, and the reason behind your choice. In addition, note if your incentive was monetary or non-monetary. For example: I recently gave up
going shopping with my friends to go to my grandma's birthday party. The incentive was knowing how happy my grandma would be to see me. This was a non-monetary
Incentive. I was happy I made the choice because I got to spend time with someone I love and help make her birthday special.
