The pie charts illustrate the data about the proportion of monthly household income spent on different items by poor and rich people in one European country.
Overall, while food and drink and fuel bills constitute more than half of poor people’s monthly spending, the rich spent their money on miscellaneous items and recreational/culture.
Looking at the pie charts in detail, the figure for food and drink constitute twice more for low-income families than high-income families, comprising 29% and 15%, respectively. The indicator of fuel bills for the poor is thrice as much as for the rich (24% and 7%). Both groups spend almost the same amount of money for miscellaneous items with some differences, accounting for 18% (the poor) and 23%( the rich).
In terms of other spendings, the money spent on recreational/culture is roughly half the same figure for the rich. Both spent almost the same amount of money on clothing, at 5% and 6%, respectively. While the high-income people use 12% of their income for restaurants/hotels, it is a tiny fraction (4%) for the low-income individuals. The wealthy use their money on transport almost twice as much as the destitute.
