Joanne has a goal of buying a townhome and saved for 5 years. She expected to have the down payment of $15,000 saved by now but unfortunately, she is $2,000 short. Joanne is stressed and ready to give up. As her friend, what would you say to Joanne to convince her that she should not give up? Give her an option of how she might adjust her plan.

As Joanne friend I'll say to Joanne (to convince her that she should not give up)that I'll lend her money or we can borrow money from the bank.
