The family lives in Sweden. J is 35 years old and is a technical product manager. His wife T is 38 years old and she works as a project manager. They live with their 2 children in a 4-bedroom house and have been living there for 5 ½ years. The best things about their house are that it’s in the countryside, within biking distance from the city, and is affordable for them. The negative thing about the house is that it’s a bit noisy due to the nearby railway and highway traffic. Their favorite most item in the house is the photo album. The next big thing they plan on buying is a car. Their dream is to buy a digital camera someday.

The family lives in Sweden. J is 35 years old and is a technical product manager. His wife T is 38 years old and she works as a project manager. They live with their 2 sons R, 6 years old, who is a student, and G, 4 years old. Together, the couple works for a total of 80 hours/week. The family lives in a 4-bedroom house that they own. They've been living there for the past 5½ years. They chose to live outside of Uppsala because it is close to the countryside but still within biking distance to the city and is more affordable. They like living close to a forest with all its animals but they find the highway and railway noisy. The house has reliable electricity, safe running water, and a toilet. The family buys 90% of its food, which costs them about 30% of their income, and produce the remaining 10% themselves. They use electricity for cooking in the kitchen. In addition to the time they spend at work, J and T spend an extra 21 hours every week doing housework. Drinking water is available at their home and is safe for consumption. The family saves money and sometimes goes on vacation. The furthest they have ever been was Sydney, Australia. The next thing they plan to buy is a new car and they dream of buying a digital camera. Their favorite item is their photo album.
