S lives with his retired parents, his wife N and their 9-year-old son in India. S is a businessman while N is a housewife. The family lives in a 4-bedroom apartment which they own. They have been living there for the past 3 years. S used to own another old flat but has sold it a few years back due to a problem with his business. The apartment has electricity which fails more than 3 times a week, and that is when the generator in their building kicks in. The generator works well, so they don't even notice and when electricity is gone. The apartment has running water and an indoor toilet. They like that it is near to work and has a pollution free environment. The downside is that the road from their house to the main road is not in a good condition. The family has to buy 90% of their food while 10% comes from gifts and other sources. They spend up to 30% of their income on food. They use liquefied petroleum gas to cook food in their kitchen. Water is available at their home and they use a Reverse Osmosis filter to treat it before drinking. The family saves money and sometimes goes on vacation. The furthest place they have visited is Goa, India. The next big thing they are planning to buy is a big car and their dream is to someday buy a villa.
