Explanation:

We need to identify the option that is NOT a barrier to saving for low-income Americans.

1. If average expenses exceed income, there is no money left to save, so this is a valid barrier.
2. The time required to build an emergency fund (two months of consistent savings) is a manageable goal, not a reason preventing saving; it is a task, not a barrier.
3. When expenses rise faster than wages, disposable income for savings shrinks, so this is a valid barrier.
4. Living paycheck-to-paycheck leads to extra fees (like overdraft charges), reducing available money for savings, so this is a valid barrier.

Answer:

B. Building an emergency fund takes two months of consistent savings
