The given charts illustrate the percentage of average spending by students who study at the same university in 2000 and 2010.
Overall, the proportions of money spent on food and drink, holidays, sports, and culture remained unchanged in both years. In contrast, the distributions of transport, holidays, clothing, and utilities (electricity/water) altered, respectively, in 2000 and 2010.
The three unchanged and significant proportions—more specifically, food and drink, holidays, sports, and culture—accounted for 29%, 5%, and 17%, respectively.
On the other hand, the expenditure on clothing in 2000 shrank considerably compared to 2010. Nonetheless, the chunks of expenditure on transport, holidays, and utilities enlarged significantly by 2010. Utilities expenditure consisted of only 21% at the outset but was boosted to 27% in 2010. Even though eating out and transport expenses increased slightly, they still accounted for 8% and 9% in 2010, while the clothing proportion plummeted from just above a quarter to 5%
