UK Household Breakdown Infographic – Budgeting and More

uk household breakdown

I don’t share much infographics on my blog, but it’s pretty interesting to see how people are spending their money even if it’s not for the country I live in. I’d like to see an infographic like this for Canads or the US. I found one of the more interesting parts was how much they spend on transportation. Looks like most people are spending more on transportation than housing. You sure wouldn’t find many people with that kind of budget here in Canada, at least not in big cities. If transportation really is that expensive, I can see why people might be more likely to resort to short term loans. They might be able to find ways to save money on housing, but with transportation costs you might be somewhat limited in options.

What do you think of these stats? How does it compare to your own budgeting?
