Answer:since this is a part time job this means that I will not be making enough cash hence an extra cash can assist me in lot of things.

Explanation:In a need of an extra cash I will take the extra time and postpone the dinner or I can still cash up in time after work and by then I will have enough cash for the dinner and the movie.

If I go to the movie when I am already not making much money I will be wasting the little money that I have however if I stay and take the extra work I will be adding to the little money that I have which is a way better option to improve my financial situation.
