THIS STATEMENT MUST BE READ TO ALL RESPONDENTS:
This interview is completely voluntary and confidential,
and all the information collected will be used for
statistical purposes only. Because this interview is a
part of the Survey of Consumer Finances, I will be asking a
number of questions that have dollar answers. The most
useful answer is always an exact amount that truly reflects
your situation. However, this is not always possible--you
may not know the figure, or you may not feel comfortable
answering. Because your answers are so important to the
study, I am allowed to collect dollar ranges when no better
information is available. Of course, if there is a
question you cannot answer or do not want to answer, we
will move on at that point. Feel free to consult any
knowledgeable person or use any records and notes at any
time during this interview. And please ask questions
when anything is not clear.
