Why Did The Stock Market Crash?
The stock market crashed because of mainly the chinese stock market. A lot of american money is put into china's stocks therefore if china goes down so does america. There were illegal stocks in china and they tried to take it out but looks like it went bad and went bad for everyone else. Taking risks in stock markets seems to be very dangerous and this seems to be the biggest crash since 2001.

Opportunity Costs
Opportunity costs desicsions that we make and deal with our money. Like if, someone had to buy a present for his mom's birthday or choose to hang out with his friends with his money. He either has the opportunity to make his mom happy or to have a good time with his friends doing who knows what. For example, from my own experience, I had a choice. It was to either get sneakers for myself that I really wanted or to get my my sister a present that was something she really desired but couldn't get that I can. I didn't know what to do cause it was a hard decision to make to either please myself or make her happy. Either way I would lose the money and someone will get something but I made a desicsion. I put my sister before myself and she got what she wanted.
