"Merry Christmas! What reason have you to be merry? You're poor enough!" This quote from Scrooge in Stave One tells us that he:
believes that poor people have nothing to celebrate
wants to help his nephew
will not give money to help the poor
is a merry and happy person
The purpose of Jacob Marley's visit to Scrooge is to
show Scrooge the past, present, and future
frighten Scrooge by showing him ghosts

In Stave Two, Scrooge's fiancee leaves him because
he has changed into a greedy, selfish person
he will not share his money with her

she does not love him anymore

was not a hard worker
cared about people more than money
was just as greedy as he is in A Christmas Carol
lived his life alone, without family/friends
The ghost probably shows Scrooge his old employer, Fezziwig, because

Scrooge risks becoming like exactly like Fezziwig
the first ghost is Fezziwig
"Alas for Tiny Tim! He bore a little crutch, and had his limbs supported by a tiny metal frame!" This quote from Stave Three helps us infer that Tiny Tim:

is weak and might die

they are unhappy because their lives are difficult
they are poor, but happy and loving
they have no children
Bob has plenty of money and does not need a raise
Scrooge's visit to his nephew's home during the Christmas celebration in Stave Three (Christmas Present) makes him feel:
happy, because he was having a good time
angry, because he was not invited
proud, because he wins the guessing game
afraid, because he will not know what will happen next
Scrooge believes that only money brings happiness. This is ironic because
money ensures happiness
the poor are always miserable due to lack of money
Scrooge is wealthy but unhappy
Scrooge owns his own business
The two children, Ignorance and Want, symbolize
problems that many people in the world have
Scrooge's character flaws
Fezziwig's merchandise
the ghosts of A Christmas Carol

argues with it about where to go

realizes that he is not afraid of it

have recently suffered an illness
are willing to change their ways
have a lot of money but no real friends
donate large amounts of money on a regular basis
One way Scrooge behaves differently in Stave Five is that
he refuses to give money to charity
he raises Bob Cratchit's salary
he goes to find his old fiancee
he buys turkeys for all the poor families in London
"Why show me this if I am past all hope?"
These words from Scrooge in Stave Four show that he
wants to change his future and believes he can
will return to his life the same as he left
will give Bob Cratchit a raise
has forgotten Jacob Marley's message
Why is Scrooge afraid to look at the name on the gravestone?
It is the grave of his friend, Jacob Marley
