The line graph illustrates how typical houses giving their wages out changed between 1965 and 2015.

Overall, it is pronounced that the amount of money spending on savings decreased significantly while most households spend more on accommodation.

As can be seen from the graph, households saved 11% of their income in 1965, which remained stable until 1990. Then it started to drop approximately 7% over the 25-year period ending in 2015 at about 4%. In contrast, more than 10% of the spending for accommodation in 1965 dropped gradually to the exact 10% until 1985, but this then reached a peak of 17% precisely at the end of the period. Whereas, spending on home improvements was insignificant until the 1990s, then it rose moderately up to 3% over the next 25 years. Finally, expenditure on entertainment, food, transport and power showed a similar general trend since each had a growth of about 2% from around 3% in 1965 up to more than 5% in 2015.
