    Quite.... I do wonder if its worth it sometimes - at least with Prolific you feel you're actually contributing to important research. This... not so much!

    As I say..  gossip in the office during the day leads to these survey questions. Maybe they ask this stuff to see if anyone is awake!

    Someone does seem to put a lot of thought into it though.  My usual complaint is where is the obvious other option.

  • I feel like all I post about lately is mad survey questions, but seriously whaaaaatt???


    Who knew there were so many ways you could spread your toast (and cared enough to find out 🤷‍♀️?)
    All I'll say is, I don't even know what some of those implements are. Clearly my butter spreading is too simple for this world.

    DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.
