The family lives in United States. N is 36 years old and she is a freelance photographer. Her husband G is 34 years old and he works as an office clerk. They live with their daughter L, 6 years old, and their son B, 4 years old. Together, the couple works for a total of 46 hours/week. The family lives in a 4-room rented apartment. They've been living there for the past 1 year. Their apartment has reliable electricity, running water, and toilet facility. The family buys all their food supplies, which costs them about 30% of their income. They use electricity for cooking in the kitchen. Safe drinking water is available in the home. N spends an extra 15 hours per week doing housework and G spends 5 hours per week in an unpaid job/training. The family saves money but are also repaying a loan. They sometimes go on vacation and the furthest place they have ever been was Germany. The next thing they plan to buy is an apartment. They hope that one day they will be able to fulfill their dream of buying a house.
