Introduction: Please check one answer in all cases, unless specified otherwise. Many of the questions in this survey will ask about your “household’s” financial situation. “Household” includes you and others living with you who contribute financially to your home. As you answer these questions, please think about all of your household members’ finances, taken as a whole. If you live alone, or do not consider anyone else to be a member of your household, please answer these questions as an individual.
Participation in the study is completely voluntary and confidential. All the information collected will be used for research purposes only. We ask for information about income, expenses, debt, and assets because it is extremely important for our understanding of how households manage their finances. We will be asking a number of questions that have dollar answers. The most useful answer is an exact amount that reflects your situation. However, this is not always possible—you may not know the exact values in some cases. You can answer our questions using best guesses if you do not know the exact amounts. You can also consult any knowledgeable person or use any records and notes to answer our questions. Your answers will remain completely anonymous. We thank you for answering our questions.
