The graphs demonstrate what percentage of their money people from two different income groups spend on various items in one European country. The list of items excludes house rent and purchase.
First of all, we can observe that the people from the low-income group spend a considerably greater share of their money on two activities, namely fuel bills, and food and drink, in comparison with people with high income. On the former activity, the? ? ? people spend a whole 24 percent of their money on fuel bills while? ? ? people spend only 7 percent of their income in the same fashion. Similarly, food and drink occupy 29 percent of the income that the people from the low-income group spend, and this share is two times as low for the people from high-income group — they spend a mere 15 percent of their budget on food and drink.
But there are a lot of activities on which people from the low-income group spend a smaller proportion of their money. Recreation and culture events take up as little as 11 percent of their budget; for the people with high income, however, this figure is nearly two times as great: they spend 21 percent of their time in this manner. As far as restaurant/hotels and transport, we can see that the former group spends 4 percent and 9 percent of its money, whereas the high-income people spend on them 12 percent and 16 percent of their budget, respectively.
At the same time, we can note a striking similarity in the way that the people from the two groups spend their budget on the rest of the different items in question. There is a difference of as little as one percentage point in the share of income that the low-income people and high-income people spend on making purchases of clothes: the former spend 5 percent of their income in this way, and the latter 6 percent. As far as miscellaneous are concerned, we can see that the low-income group spends 18 percent of its budget on this item, whereas high-income group spends on it 23 percent of their money, respectively.
