This week The rich and the penniless – episode an entrepreneur, visual artist and writer meet Maarika Maury and engaged in rehabilitative work activities Tiina Rahkonen. Also Tiina’s daughter Siiri participates in the exchange week and the two get to live in Maarika’s large, 500 square meter house.

Tiina says that she currently has 90 cents in her account. Sometimes he may haggle about eating, but what is certain is that Siiri always gets a meal for himself. Tiina reflects that although the age has already accumulated somewhat, the pension amount has not increased at the same pace. Right now, he is dreaming of getting a job, so that the future would be more secure.

During the exchange week, mother and daughter get to use 1350 euros, and the amount seems almost dizzying.

– It can’t be true, I’ve never held such a bundle in my hand. My goodness, there are a lot of these, Tiina counts.

– A terrible amount, that’s probably the money for one and a half months. I probably won’t get that much.

Tiina also praises Maarika’s house full of art and beautiful objects.

– You feel like royalty when you can be in such a great house.

Maarikka’s moods are a little opposite when she gets to see Tiina and Siiri’s home.

– Different, maybe not the most aesthetically pleasing furniture.

Maarika plans to add more aesthetics to the apartment with little money – the bathroom needs a candle for a bubble bath. Next, the familiarization tour continues to the kitchen and opening the cabinet reveals a surprise.

– Will the whole cabinet fall? This is already a bit dangerous, lest it fall on the neck, Maarika updates the detached hinge.

– I think this apartment feels a bit shabby. I would invest quite a lot in trying to save a little on paint or furniture. And I don’t mean that any antique furniture is needed, he reflects.

During the exchange week, mother and daughter get to eat at the restaurant. The final bill for two meals is equal to the two’s normal weekly budget. Sari Soininen
