p.187 1/8 (cont. aand completed)
No coffee - people who drink may spend 20 TL a year plus extra sugar. Same for tea.
[Better homes spend more, e.g. Muhtar spent 50 TL on kilim, ustas have watches etc.]
[Income from wool, eggs, chickens, sale of animals. These items must vary enormously from
house to house.] i(0185) has sold no wool or eggs - only enough for his own use.
i(0185) - if only there wasn't the expense of a new house [this budgeting takes no account of
dgn {marriage} expenses - it is not hard to see why the villagers go away to work, even the better off houses].

k<hshd expenditure>

{c: I found this kind of data very hard to get. But this is consistent with my expereince}
