• Card 6 / 8: How would an increase in expected income over one's lifetime affect one's intertemporal budget constraint? How would it affect one's consumption/saving decision?

    Answer:
    An increase in expected income would cause an outward shift in the intertemporal budget constraint. This would likely increase both current consumption and saving, but the answer would depend on one's time preference, that is, how much one is willing to wait to forgo current consumption. Children are notoriously bad at this, which is to say they might simply consume more, and not save any. Adults, because they think about the future, are generally better at time preference-that is, they are more willing to wait to receive a reward.
