The bar chart compares the expenditure on three items among citizens aged from 0 to 75+ in the UK in 2004.
A steady upward spending trend in food and drink can be seen as the age increased. People under 30 years old spent 5% of their budget while people aged from 30 to 45 spent 13% of the total expenditure. The proportion kept increasing and grew into 23% for people aged above 75.
Similarly, it witnessed a rising spending trend on restaurant and hotel for groups from 0 to 75. The percentage grew from approximately 7% to 23% but finally dropped to 13% in 75+ group.
However, an opposite consuming trend can be observed on entertainment. People under 30 were the group who spent the most, around 14%, whereas people from 30 to 75 spent lower but the same percentage of total spending-13%. People above 75 spent least on entertainment – about 7%.
