Would you rather a life-changing amount of money today, or if you wait a month, an even larger amount of money? What about if the amounts were under a hundred bucks?

People answered these sorts of questions (with exact dollar amounts) in an internet experiment, designed to sate my curiosity about the Monetary Choice Questionnaire. I wanted to see what would happen if we extended the original measure beyond the under $100 range. So let me tell you about what I found.

The script uploaded to my Patreon includes one analysis I cut (class mobility) as well as the partial eta values for all statistical significance tests. And I know, I did some things you shouldn't do (like give exact p-values), but I figured it would help illustrate where to look further for people interested in continuing this stuff.
