The family lives in Vietnam. G is 35 years old and works as a fruit seller. His wife T is 30 years old and she is a tailor. They live with their grandmother M, 65 years old, and their 2 sons H, 5 years old, and B, 2 years old. Together, the couple works for a total of 119 hours/week. The family lives in a two-bedroom house, which they own. They've been living there for the past 35 years. The house has electricity, which fails several times a week, and a toilet, but no running water. The family has to buy all their food, which cost about 40% of their income. They use propane and natural gas for cooking in the kitchen. Water is accessible on the house’s plot and is safe to drink. Every week, T spends 20 hours doing housework and G spends 2 hours collecting firewood. The family hardly saves any money. They’ve never been on vacation and the furthest they have ever been was Da Nang, Vietnam. The next big thing they plan to buy is a sofa set. They hope that one day they will be able to fulfill their dream of buying a motorcycle.
