What expenses do you spend the most money on?

etc.

  1. technology

In your opinion are unemployment benefits the reason why there is such a big unemployment in Lithuania??

What do you think about the 200 eur unemployment benefit that students are able to get nowadays?

  1. I think it's very useful. Students can save more time without working and making money
  2. It is useless, because that money could be used somewhere better
  3. I think that it is a very good support for unemployed students
  4. It is nice that the govermemnt decided to provide what they had promised but it seems like this just a part of their political campaign before elections
  5. I think it's a good way for them to get support that a lot of them really need need
  6. It’s good that students get extra money, but if they don’t know how to manage their expenses the money won’t do th any good
  7. IMHO there are better ways to spend our country's finances than the named benefit. The benefit could definitely be halved and it would still bring notable advantages to the students.
  8. I appreciate it
  9. I think it can help a lot of students
  10. Good for students but there is no point in it

What do you think about accumulating funds for a pension in our age?

  1. I don't know much about it
  2. no comments
  3. I think that it is too early to think about pension
  4. It is probably a smart choice, however, people should be aware of how and where they choose to accumulate it.
  5. It might be a little too far into the future to worry about
  6. I don’t know about it because I haven’t educated myself on this topic yet.
  7. I think that it is a great option of saving :)
  8. I think it's good since it ensures better pension
  9. If I can, I will do

Would you rather pay rent or buy home,why?

  1. Buy home. I think it's better to pay the loan than to pay the rent to other people.
  2. I would pay a rent, because I could invest saved money
  3. it would be more logical to buy a home, in order to not waste money, however it's not possible to do that now, considering how much i earn
  4. I would rather buy my own home because i think that paying rent is a waste of money
  5. At this age pay rent, later on buy home with a loan because you would pay approximately the same amount, however you would be the owner.
  6. Buy, it's more safe and stable that way
  7. I would buy home, because it is a good investment and it will pay off in the future.
  8. Buy home, mainly because I enjoy the feeling of not being dependent on anyone other than me ? ? ?
  9. Buy. Feels more stable this way
  10. I am fine with both, because a house just needs more care while a rentable apartment less, but both of them might cost just as much

At what age do you think it is socially acceptable for parents to not support their children financially anymore and why?

  1. 20 years old
  2. then they gets job
  3. around 18 - 20 years old
  4. I think that it really depends on the families and their agreement. Some students work and are able to live without financial support from their parents, others choose to focus on their studies.
  5. At the age when he/she graduates and finnishes her studies as a person can then look for a job even a temporary one.
  6. Perhaps after they finish university and/or find their own job
  7. It depends on the family.
  8. There is no age limit for this. I think that it is a matter of parents' outlooks towards their children - for example, it is okay to financially support a child if he/she is studying hard and pursuing their goals in career (grinding), no matter their age. On the other hand, if a child is, say, 21, lives separately and doesn't work or study anywhere, it is completely understandable of parents not to support their child financially.
  9. 20. Depends on when they are able to find a job and it meets their social needs
  10. I wouldn't say it depends on the age, but rather on the situation of the child, if they can financially take care of themselves. I would say maybe at the age of 23 or somewhere around, because some can find a proper work at that age
