Family Economic Role

I live with my uncle and his wife in their apartment. My uncle, Ryan, works at a local restaurant. My aunt, Julie, also works at a restaurant and teaches people how to dance in the evening. I work part-time at the bank as a teller. My work is to shop for groceries, while my uncle and his wife pay the rent for the apartment we live in and also buy foodstuffs and cater for other essential needs to ensure we live a comfortable life. All of us in our family are consumers and suppliers of goods and services. I work in a bank, and my day-to-day activity to offer assistance to the bank customers. In the evening after work, I pass by the grocery store and shop for groceries that we use in our home. As a consumer, I buy fruits, vegetables, meat, bread, pasta, rice, condiments, among others. For us to survive and live a healthy life, it is indeed a prerequisite for us to buy those goods.

Julie works as a waiter in a restaurant. She offers services to the hotel guests. As a waiter, Julie takes orders from the hotel guests, deliver meals, and present the bills to the guests for them to sign. Also, she partly teaches people how to dance. Usually, young adults from our town are the main customers of her services. These young adults learn how to dance as fun and as a body exercise. As a consumer of goods, my aunt is entirely dependent on goods from the local grocery store. Ryan is a general manager in a restaurant in the hotel industry. Ryan oversees the operations of the restaurant to ensure smooth running and customer satisfaction. As a manager, he has to make sure that the working environment is comfortable by listening and taking an action plan to all the requests made by the employees and the clients. Lastly, as a consumer, since he stays at the apartment, he enjoys the services from the apartment owner, who make sure that at all times, the house is well maintained.
