Questions and instructions

Question pretext

Now I want to ask you some questions about a hypothetical situation. Suppose you have earned 500 Kwacha for work that you have done for a trustworthy neighbor during the last week. The neighbor gives you an option for how he pays you for this work. One option is that you get paid today. The alternative option will be to get a slightly higher payment in a month from now.

Literal question

Do you prefer to receive the 500 Kwacha for your work today, or would you prefer 600 Kwacha one month from now?

Value	Category
1	K500 today
2	K600 in one month
8	Don't know
9	Missing
