Just where do Germans spend their money?

According to the federal statistics office, Destatis, the biggest chunk of households' income went on housing, energy and home maintenance, at 34.5 percent – or €796 out of an average monthly spending of €2,310.

Over 14 percent of families' cash was spent on transport, at around €329 a month, and food, drink and tobacco were close behind at €321, or 13.9 percent of the budget.

Household applicances, hotels, and clothing and shoes each made up around five percent of spending.
