Solution

Given the economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic, it is likely that Taylor will take the following steps:

  1. He will focus on increasing his savings: In times of economic uncertainty, it is common for individuals to try and save more to prepare for any future financial difficulties. By increasing his savings, Taylor can ensure he has a financial safety net in case his earnings continue to decrease.

  2. He will focus on decreasing his spending: Similarly, in order to increase his savings, Taylor will likely need to decrease his spending. This could involve cutting out non-essential purchases and focusing on buying only what he needs.

The options that Taylor will focus on increasing his spending or decreasing his savings are less likely, as these actions would not be financially prudent given the current economic climate.
