Outline of data	While most databases on finance and economics is at macro or firm level, we conduct a detailed survey on the micro-participant of market--household, in hope of capturing missing information of consumers' financial condition. By surveying on carefully designed sample, we collect information including fixed assets, investment, pension, insurance, etc. The information could be utilized in various ways. For example, commercial companies could use the database to discover customer preference. Government could also utilize the data to know the effect of certain policies.
