RETIRE_EXP_P2_E_INTRO []Section: Retirement Expectations

I have some questions about how likely you think various events might be. When I ask a question I'd like for you to give me a number from 0 to 100, where "0" means that you think there is absolutely no chance the event will occur, and "100" means that you think the event is absolutely sure to happen.

For example, no one can ever be sure about tomorrow's weather, but if you think that rain is very unlikely tomorrow, you might say that there is a 10 percent chance of rain. If you think there is a very good chance that it will rain tomorrow, you might say that there is an 80 percent chance of rain. If you are positive that it will rain tomorrow, you would say there is a 100 percent chance of rain.
