The average family in#e of New Zealand has increased from $ 18,000 per year in 1990 to $ 25,000 in 2000. Along with this considerable increase in people's in#e, the way in which the average family spends its in#e has also changed.
In 1990, the average expenditure of family in#e was divided into several sectors as follows. 13% was devoted to housing and 22% was spent on food and drink, while 15% was spent on clothes and 12% for transportation. The rest of the in#e (38%) #prised all other expenditures.
In 2000, the way people used their in#e has undergone considerable change. 26% is devoted to housing, which is twice as that in 1990. Food and drink occupy 22 % of the total in#e, which is the same as that ten years ago. As to clothing, people only spend 10% of their in#e, a slight decrease over 1990. Transportation accounts for 20% , a greater percentage than that in 1990. Only 22% goes to other items.
It can be seen from the pie charts that housing accounts for a much larger portion of people's in#e than before and the expenditure on transportation has also experienced a gradual in-crease. On the other hand, people nowadays tend to spend less on clothing.
