Having a census? So are we.

Decided to participate.

Gave up halfway through.

There are no less than 100 questions for each family member. So, for four people – that’s about five hundred. About everything – from salary to place of residence, status, occupation, what degree you have, who owns the house, how much you pay per month. Many questions can be skipped if you don’t want to share, but sometimes they say you need to “enter something, if you don’t know exactly, enter an approximation”. I checked several times to see if it was a scam – no, US Census, all correct.
