Just thinking, in books they say you balance marginal utility per rupee until every penny gives equal joy. But when my stipend arrives, I don't balance 'utils'—I balance roti and notes. I buy the dal and rice first; the 'MU/P' for my textbooks only equals out if there's anything left after the khichdi. So for me, equilibrium is when my fees are paid and my stomach is full, not when some ratios match.
