A lot more people will complete it if you give them some idea how long it is. You should use Wufoo.

Thanks for the advice, Paul. I've updated the title and first page with more information about length and structure.

I also cannot show the entire survey on one page out of concern that its structure might influence the earlier responses.

I just went through it, choosing almost exclusively certainties. I'm definitely an entrepreneur, although currently a very struggling one.

I fear the survey is going to be incredibly influenced by income level and current financial security. If you had changed the magnitudes of the numbers, my answers would have been completely different. I can do the math, but I also know that my immediate financial needs are unmet and that my ability to sustain losses is very limited.

Yeah, my budget is pretty tight as well. I can handle losing $50, but if I lose $1500, I can't make my mortgage this month.
