The two pie charts compare the monthly household expenditure of the rich and the poor in a European nation.
Overall, the high-income group spends mostly on food & drink and fuel while recreational & cultural activities and miscellaneous take most of the budget of the other group. In addition, clothing is of less concern to both groups.
With respect to the disadvantaged, food & drink is the category with the highest budget allocation (29%), followed by fuel (24%), both of which collectively constitute more than half of the total. Meanwhile, miscellaneous compose the third area of most expense, at 18%.

By contrast, for people having a lucrative income, the share devoted to miscellaneous and recreational & cultural activities is largest, accounting for 23% and 21% separately. The three next major segments are transportation, food & drink, and restaurant & hotel, ranging from 16% to 12%. Fuel and clothing are almost evenly contributed the remaining 13% and become the least important categories.
