We are interested in whether adult children have accurate information about their parents' health and finances. There is a lot of scientific interest in questions of this sort.

We have already asked you about the health of your (mother/father/parents), and now would like to ask a few questions about their finances. With your permission, we would also like to ask your (mother/father/parents) the same questions, so that we can compare your answers to your parents' answers.

To make the questions comparable for all respondents in the survey, let's suppose that you are now 50 years old, that you [and your (husband/ wife)] will retire when you are 65, and that you [and your (husband/wife)] will live to be 80. Further suppose that future health care costs are fully covered by insurance, that there will be no inflation, and that your income after taxes is guaranteed to be $3000 each month from age 50 to age 80. 9156 MK1. [GIVE CARD I TO R.] Card I contains several possible patterns of monthly spending before retirement, the striped bars, and after retirement, the solid black bars. By saving part of your income before retirement, you can have more to spend after retirement, as in choice E. Or you could borrow and spend more before retirement, spending less and repaying the loan after retirement, as in choice A. Or you could just spend your income each month, as in choice C. Thus you can afford any of the spending patterns shown on Card I. Which pattern do you like the most? ____________________________________________________________ 1. A (Age 50-65 spend $4000; Age 65-80 spend $2000) 3. C (Age 50-65 spend $3000; Age 65-80 spend $3000) 5. E (Age 50-65 spend $2000; Age 65-80 spend $4000) 8. DK 9. NA 0.
