,
leisure
,clothing,transport,fuel/energy) measured in percentage in Europe, in an unknown country in 2005.

compared to others. In 1960, the cost of
food
was around 35 per
cent
,
while
the cost of
leisure
was just under 20 per
cent
. Moving forward to the next two decades, both of them suffered a decrease reaching 25 per
cent
food
and approximately 17 per
cent
leisure
, but
at the end
of the period, in 2000 both of them were under 15 per
cent
. Transport is the only one who had a gradual increase from 1960 (under 10 per
cent
) to slightly over 15 per
cent
in 2000, which goes over
food
and
leisure
,
while
fuel and clothing did not suffer too many changes,
at the end
of the period 2000, both of them were under 10 per

, being the lowest point on the graph.
