people the option of sharing their electronic expenditure records with us ahead of
time. This would allow us to ask fewer questions over the phone.

could be assured that your data would remain secure and confidential, how willing
would you be to share information from your online accounts or other personal
finance software for the purposes of this survey?
Would you say that you would be very willing to share that information, somewhat
