Emergency volunteers needed for questionnaire! |
|
Hi, everyone! I'm looking for 10 volunteers to help my daughter with a high school economics/statistics assignment. She's missing some data for this project that needs to be graphed.
Needless to say, it's due in a few hours. Oh, the trials and tribulations of parenthood! :eyes:
Any volunteers? We need 5 males and 5 females to answer a few questions:
1 - How many credit cards do you have? 2 - What is your credit limit? 3 - What is the interest rate on your credit cards? 4 - How much debt have you been in since getting the card(s)? 5 - What are your feelings/regrets regarding credit and debt? 6 - What is your age - feel free to be general, such as 30s, 40s, etc. 7 - What is your ethnicity or nationality?
This information is going nowhere but onto a graphic representation for statistical analysis for a high school project. If you're willing to participate, you can either PM me the answers here or email them to me at silverweb@care2.com.
Thank you for helping out!

3. You're probably the smartest one who's going to answer! |

I'm not sure this is the kind of information that's going to help her graphs, though.
:D

1. 2 2. 25,000 3. 8% 4. None, I don't carry a balance and pay them off each month. 5. Glad to have credit, but debt makes me miserably uncomfortable so after a brief period wherein I had maxed out several cards during higher earning years, I paid down the debt and resolved myself not to spend more than I make. 6. 45 7. American...italian jew...is that sufficient?

Thank you so much. You're another smart one, to not carry a balance and pay them off each month!

7. Live and learn the hard way. |

At one time I had $40,000 in credit card debt that ballooned due to interest. I paid them off and used nothing but cash for two years and promised myself I'd never do THAT to myself again.

All it takes is getting nearly buried in debt once for most people to figure out that too much isn't healthy. That's why I'm happy to see this being taught in a high school class!

You don't need a form. Just number your answers to correspond with the questions. :) I've got the data sheet here and am just plugging in the data as I get it.

13. Ok, thought I was gonna get a form to fill out... |
|
here it is then... I have 5 credit cards, not counting my ATM which doubles as a credit card... credit limits: $14,400. $10,000. $5,000. $5,000. $1,000. Int rate: 12%, 19.99%, 12.75%, 14%, 21% debit? I am in the process of transferring my 401K from one account to another, adn have to do some creative accounting to avoid the penalty... So here we go... Feelings regarding debt? Well, I wish i would not have been spending so much beyond my means. I have been a homeowner for 3 yrs, and trying to keep two older vehichles running. I am hoping I can get ahead next year and get some plastic surgery and a hybrid car, too. I am 42yrs old White for now...

That's a wonderful help. Now we just need one more female response and we've got all the data she needs to make her graphs and charts.
