Let's Talk LOL!

Class,
So I am typically running low on the ever-evolving vocabulary generated in the often popular social media. Likewise, given my limited age-dependent consumption patterns, I often lack insight into lifestyle examples that might be popular. The most hep good I can think of, is pizza, and perhaps some soda to go with! (lol)

So, here I am asking your help:
Give me examples relevant to you, of:
a. Substitute Goods
b. Complement Goods
c. Normal Goods
d. Inferior Goods
e. Example of something that one of you could produce and actually sell? 
f. Your dream job?

    B. Pizza and Blue Cheese, Movie and Popcorn, and Burgers and Fries

    C. New clothes, shoes, and a new phone.

    D. Ramen, and food from the meal plan Kean offers.

    E. A drawing

  13. I love the idea of DVD and DVD Player.....they are truly complements indeed..... and yet their makers, their selling strategies are different.

    To be happy with is a great goal....in fact the Nobel Laureate (for 2019) Dr. Abhijit Banerjee categorically gives only one advice: DO WHAT YOU LOVE and LOVE WHAT YOU DO!

    I hope you find the kind of work that you truly love.
    Thanks for replying here.
