The graph demonstrates the expenditures on three categories, namely food and drink, restaurants and hotels, and entertainment, by various age groups of UK residents in 2004.
Overall, most of the individuals examined allocated their budgets to food and drink while neglecting restaurants and hotels. However, individuals under the age of 30 tend to spend more of their budget on restaurants than on food and drink.
For individuals under the age of 30, there was a significant gap witnessed between restaurants and hotels and the other two counterparts. However, with the individuals from 32 to 60 years old, the differences weren’t as significant as there was only a 3 to 5% gap.
Unlike the young, people at the age of 61 or higher share a similar pattern; they spent the most on food and drink, allocating 23% of their total spending to this category. In contrast, they spent the least on restaurants and hotels, with only 2% of their budget going towards these expenses.
