The family lives in Mongolia. B is a teacher and she is 37 years old. Her husband, M, works as a driver for the local mine and he is 40 years old. They live with their 2 children, 2 grandparents (husband’s parents), and 1 sibling (husband’s brother). Their residence is a 1-bedroom house which they own and have been living in it for 6 years. The best features of their house are location and surroundings in which they grew up, however, the downside is that there is no water or heat supply in it. The family’s next big plan is to buy a new kitchen oven, and their dream is to own an apartment in the city center.

The family lives in Mongolia. B is 37 years old and she is a teacher. M, her husband, is 40 years old and he works as a driver for the local mine. They are parents to two daughters, 7-year-old L and 5-year-old C whom are students. The husband’s father, 71 years old, mother, 67 years old, and a younger sibling, 7 years old, also lives with the family. The husband and wife combined spend 124 hours per week at their jobs. The family lives in a one-bedroom house which they own and have been living in it for 6 years. The best thing about their house is its location and surroundings, which is where they grew up. It has uninterrupted electricity, but no water or heat supply and the toilet is outdoors in the yard. The family buy all their food supplies from the market, and spend around 30% of their income on it. In the kitchen, they use electricity, but also coal and wood for cooking and heating food. Drinking water is fetched from a water source an hour away, and costs them 10% of their income. The family isn’t saving any money since they are paying back a bank loan every month. Their next big plan is to buy a kitchen oven, and their dream is to some day buy an apartment in the city center.
