The two pie charts show how spending was divided between seven categories in 1966 and 1996. The categories are food, cars, petrol, restaurants, furniture, computers and books.
Overall, food was the biggest area of spending in 1966, but in 1996 cars became the biggest. Spending on computers and restaurants increased, while spending on food and books decreased.
In 1966, food made up 44% of spending, which was almost half. Cars were the second with 23%, and furniture was 10%. Petrol was 9%, restaurants were 7% and books were 6%. Computers had the smallest share at only 1%.
In 1996, the situation was very different. Spending on cars nearly doubled to 45%, and it became the largest category. In contrast, the share of food fell sharply to only 14%. Restaurants doubled from 7% to 14%, so they had the same share as food. Computers also increased a lot, from 1% to 10%. However, books dropped from 6% to just 1%, and furniture and petrol fell slightly to 8% each.
