The best answer is C) buying movies at the store to watch once he gets the television
My dad's phrase for what Pablo is doing would be "putting the cart before the horse", meaning it is too early to be buying movies for a TV he doesn't even have enough money for yet. The money that Pablo spends on movies is money lost towards buying a TV, harming is his savings goal.
