Yes, I’m the breadwinner.

No, my husband or partner supports me.

We both support each other.

Myself! I have my own business.

A small business

A giant corporation

A medium-sized company

I’m a job hopper. I change employers every few years.

I’ve been extremely loyal to one or a few companies over my career.

I fall somewhere in between “extremely loyal” and a “job hopper.”

I’m an entrepreneur and I’ve spent most of my career self-employed.

My passion was never my career, I’ve always had outside hobbies and interests.

I’ve looked forward to retiring my entire working life.

For financial or other reasons, I’ll never be able to retire, although I want to.

Retirement for me is or will be a balance of work and leisure.

I have no interest in retiring...maybe reinventing myself, but definitely not retiring.

I put my career on hold when I became a mother.

My dream career didn’t/doesn’t offer me financial stability so I’ve pursued other jobs.

I never had the opportunity to cultivate my dream career due to where I live, education or other circumstances.

I don’t feel like my career ambitions were challenged. I am satisfied with what I achieved/am achieving.

None of the above

I stopped working when I had kids and never got back into the workforce permanently.

I always worked, even when I had kids.

I stopped working for a period to be home with my kids but eventually returned to work.

I juggled motherhood and career for a long time before finally becoming a full-time mom.

Yes.

No.

Widowhood

Divorce

A husband or partner losing job

I was not forced to go back to work for any of these reasons.

I lost my job and I’ve struggled to find a new one.

My hours and/or salary have been cut back at work.

I haven’t been able to transition into the career I really want because I’m afraid to take a risk.

My savings were hit hard and now my retirement will be pushed back many more years.

No. Luckily, the economic downturn hasn’t affected me!

Yes. Sometimes I wish I could re-do my career, and one day I still might.

No. I’m happy with my career decisions.

Regrets, I’ve had a few, but I’m happy with where I’m at now.

More. I wish I hadn’t been so distracted by other things.

Less. In the end, it’s other things that really matter.

I’ve never really worried. What will be, will be.
