The data about how families decided to spend their weekly income in some country in 1968 and in 2018 is presented on a chart
In 1968 family members prevalently spent their money on food (roughly 35% of their salaries). After food, wages went on paying for housing, clothing and footware were on the same scale (10% for each category). The rest was spent on fuel and power, household goods, personal goods, transport, and leisure (from 6% to approximately 9% of families’ revenue)
The amount of money spent on food halved from 35% in 1968 to 17% in 2018, whereas housing and leisure expenses almost doubled (from 10% to 19%; and from 9% to 22%, respectively). The spendings on household goods remained just the same. The most preferable category to put out money shifted from food in 1968 to leisure in 2018.
Overall, the illustrated chart gives information about how families decided to distribute their weekly income into the eight most popular spending groups.
