What pay check deductions...?

Question

I'm taking a money management class for 2 weeks, and part of our work today is to "interview" people to find out what deductions come out of their paycheck.

So the question itself is, what [by choice] deductions come out of your paycheck?

You don't have to tell me yours specifically, but anything in general that you have the choice to or not to have deducted from your pay check would help me out a lot. Thanks.
