Alex has been saving money to buy a new laptop for college. His friends, however, have been raving about a trendy new virtual reality headset. At a social gathering, Alex's friends show off the cool features of the headset, and everyone seems to be getting one. Despite the pressure and the hype, Alex remembers his goal of purchasing a laptop, which is essential for his education, and decides to continue saving for it instead of going with the trend.

Did Alex consider personal or societal values in his financial decision, and why?

Societal values, because the pressure to own trendy tech is a societal norm.
Personal values, because he wants to fit in with his friends by having the latest tech.
Societal values, because laptops are regarded as necessary tools for education in society.
Personal values, because Alex prioritized his educational needs over the trend of buying a headset.
