Correct answers: a and c.
- a (fell sharply behind schedule): Yes — you'll need to revise the timeline, contribution amounts, or the goal itself to reflect the new reality.
- c (married, spouse has a similar goal): Yes — marriage is a major life change; combining finances and priorities usually requires re-evaluating and adjusting goals.
- b (recovered from an unexpected expense): Not necessarily — recovery means the original goal can often remain, though you should consider creating or funding an emergency reserve.
- d (unexpected income): Not necessary — you can leave the goal as is or optionally accelerate it; the extra money gives flexibility but doesn't force a change.
