Python does not use curly braces like most other languages. Instead it uses a colon :
and whitespace to determine blocks. You also do not need (and shouldn’t put) semicolons ;
at the end of every line. In addition, you do not need parenthesis around conditions in if/while/etc. statements.This is the correct way to write your code:
print ("If you are married press 1 if you are single press 2")
answer = raw_input("")
if answer == 1:
print "Enter your income"
elif answer == 2:
print "Enter your income"
