The family lives in Thailand. S is 39 years old and is a mechanic. He lives with his grandmother T, 77 years old, who is retired, his nephew N, 24 years old, who is a handyman, and his great nephew W, 3 years old. S and N work for a total of 36 hours/week. The family lives in a 3-bedroom house, which they own. They’ve been living there for the past 6 years. The house has reliable electricity and toilet facility. The family has to buy all their food supplies, which cost them about 50% of their income. They use electricity and propane for cooking in the kitchen. They must collect water from a source nearby, which takes 5 minutes to collect and come back. The family doesn’t save any money but they sometimes go on vacation. The furthest they have ever been was Suphan Buri, Thailand. The next big thing they plan to buy is a television. They hope that one day they will be able to fulfill their dream of buying a car.
