Treatment 1 question 1

Text: Now consider a hypothetical situation where you unexpectedly receive a one-time payment of ff_mpcamount = 1£500ff_mpcamount = 2£2500 today. We would like to know whether this extra income would cause you to change your spending, borrowing and saving behaviour in any way over the next ff_mpcduration = 13 monthsff_mpcduration = 212 months. If you received the one-time ff_mpcamount = 1£500ff_mpcamount = 2£2500 payment, over the next ff_mpcduration = 13 monthsff_mpcduration = 212 months would you...
