Answer to Question 1

An individual would have to calculate her financial wealth, housing wealth, and human wealth. Of course, this implies that the individual would have to form expectations of future interest rates, income, and taxes for the remainder of her working life. Once done, the individual would then calculate the amount of consumption per year she preferred given this total wealth. If in the current period, current disposable income is less than this level of C, she would borrow the difference.
