Now suppose that you will indeed receive Social Security benefits in the future. We will ask some questions about when you expect to receive them and how much you think they will be.

Some people are uncertain about when they will start collecting their Social Security benefits. In the next question, we ask you to think about the age at which you will start collecting these benefits. We will show you 20 balls that you can put in eight different bins, reflecting what you think are the chances out of 20 that the age at which you will start collecting falls in each bin. The more likely you think it is that the age at which you will start collecting falls in a given bin, the more balls you should assign to this bin. For example, if you put all the balls in the bin 63, it means you are certain that you will start collecting these benefits on or after your 63rd birthday and before your 64th birthday. Another example is illustrated on the next screen.
Bin 64 has the most balls so this person thinks the chances are greatest that he will start collecting benefits at age 64. Because 12 out of 20 balls are in this bin he thinks the chances are 12 out of 20 or 60 percent. There is a smaller chance, 8 out of 20 or 40 percent, that he will start collecting benefits at age 65. Because all 20 balls are in bins 64 or 65 this person is certain he will first collect benefits at either 64 or 65. Of course this is just an example. The chances you have in mind may be completely different. Now it's your turn! Click on "Next" to start allocating balls.
By clicking on the + and - buttons under each bin or clicking on and dragging each ball into a bin, please put the 20 balls into the 8 bins so that it reflects what you think the chances are (out of 20) that you will start collecting social security benefits at that age.

Some people are uncertain about their future Social Security benefits. In the next question, we ask you to think about what your monthly benefits might be. We will show you 20 balls that you can put in seven different bins, reflecting what you think are the chances out of 20 that your future Social Security benefits fall in each bin. The more likely you think it is that your benefits fall in a given bin, the more balls you should assign to this bin. For example, if you put all the balls in the bin $700 - $1050, it means you are certain that the amount you will receive is between $700 and $1050. Another example is illustrated on the next screen.
In this example, there are no balls in the ranges below $700 or above $1400, so it is certain that benefits will not be lower than $700 or higher than $1400. 12 out of 20 balls are in the bin $700 - $1050 meaning that the chance that benefits are between $700 and $1050 is 12 out of 20 (60 percent). There is a smaller chance, 8 out of 20 (40 percent), that benefits are between $1050 and $1400.

We are interested in how couples make their retirement decisions. In particular, we want to know if and how partners take account of each others' preferences when making retirement decisions.
The next questions describe possible ways in which you and your partner can retire. We call them retirement scenarios. The retirement scenarios are indicated on a timeline, where different situations are indicated together with your age and your partner's age. To illustrate, let's assume for the moment that your partner is two years younger than you, and you both have full-time jobs of 40 hours per week. Suppose that, when you are 62 years old (and your partner is 60 years old), you and your partner still work the same number of hours per week as now, in similar positions. Also suppose that your and your partner's employers fully cooperate with all the scenarios described. Let us consider how this example would work. First "your own" retirement path is presented, indicated by the time line below. The pink box indicates you are still at work. The yellow box means that you have reduced your hours and work less than you currently do (gradual retirement). The blue box indicates that you have stopped working and are fully retired. As you see, you work your current (40) hours per week until age 65. Then you work 24 hours per week until age 68, but since you get a partial pension in addition to part-time earnings, your net income remains the same as before age 65. At age 68 you retire completely and your net pension income becomes 75% of your net income before age 65. Example:
The next screen in the example reproduces your time line and adds the time line for your partner.
When you are between 62 and 65
When you are between 65 and 68
When you are 68 or older
You work current hoursYou work 24 hours per week; your net income is the same as before
age 65
You are retired and get a pension corresponding to 75% of your last
In this case, "your partner" has no gradual retirement and retires completely when you turn 65, that is, when he or she is 63. Your partner's pension income is 75% of his or her last net earnings. Example:
In the questions that follow, we will show you six different retirement scenarios. The scenarios are presented in two steps: first your own time line is given, then, on the next screen, your partner's time line is added. We take account of the actual age difference between you and your partner and of the actual hours that you and your partner are currently working. We will ask you to judge each scenario twice -- first on the basis of your own preference and then on what you think your partner's preference would be.
When you are between 62 and 65
When you are between 65 and 68
When you are 68 or older
You work current hoursYou work 24 hours per week; your net income is the same as before
age 65
You are retired and get a pension corresponding to 75% of your last
earnings
When your partner is between 60 and 63
When your partner is between 63 and 66
When your partner is 66 or older
Your partner works current hoursYour partner retires and gets a
pension corresponding to 75% of his/her last earnings
Your partner is retired and gets a pension corresponding to 75% of
The next questions are also retirement scenarios, but now we ask you to choose between two different scenarios, named A and B. For each of these scenarios we will ask you three questions: We ask you to choose if it were up to you; what you think your partner would choose if it were up to him/her; and what would be the most likely outcome if you had to decide jointly with your partner.
