The table illustrates the proportion of monthly household income five European countries spend on food and drink, housing, clothing and entertainment. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The table provides information on how much households in five European countries spend on food and drink, housing, clothing, and entertainment from their monthly household income. Overall, people spend most of their money on food and drink as well as housing. The next allocation comes to clothing and entertainment. Coming to France, families allot most of their income to housing which attributes to 31%. One-fourth of the distribution is spent on food and drinks. 13% is spent on entertainment and clothing is given the least preference with 7%. In Germany unlike France, the emphasis is laid on clothing where households spend about one-third of their income on this. Food and drinks, clothing, and entertainment are given 22%, 15%, and 19% respectively. In the United Kingdom, the trend is similar to that of France where the majority of the financial resources go to Housing with 37% followed by food and clothing with 27%. However, entertainment and clothing are given an equal amount that attributes to 11%. The distribution in Turkey and Spain is very different than the other three nations. For the former, people tend to spend most of their hard-earned money on food and drinks, unlike housing which was given the priority in the other countries. 36% is spent on food and drinks alone and 20% share is given to housing. Clothing and entertainment cover 12% and 10% share respectively. Spain also follows the same trend with most of the money being spent on food and drink. On the contrary, people of this country tend to crave entertainment more than spending their cash on clothes which covers 15% and 8% respectively.
