We are looking at the video where different people were given USD 100 and they were free to spend it on whatever they wanted in a grocery store, which is an interesting experiment and I think that when people went through the experiment really revealed their financial situation.

Because you can see some of the people use the USD 100 to buy stuff like were really essential for life. For example, fruits and vegetables, toilet paper, cooking oil and stuff like that.

While some of the others use the USD 100 buy stuff like wine and beer, stuff like were more towards the luxurious side of things. And you can see that they were better off financially(他們財務上比較好）.

TV dinner are those microwaveable dinner(可微波的晚餐）that you can put it in the freezer and when you want to eat it, you just take it out , microwave it and you can eat it.

This is the stuff that I ate all through my college years(整個大學期間在吃的東西）. So this is basically what I did few years back.
