Quizplus · Accepted Answer

With two wage earning families, there is often less time for meal preparation and more reliance on eating out or purchasing prepared foods. This would suggest an increase in the percentage of disposable income spent on services such as restaurants and transportation for dining out or getting to work. Additionally, with both partners working full-time, there may be less time for household chores and an increased need for services such as cleaning or childcare. The increase in the use of appliances and computers may also be a factor, but it is not as directly related as services and transportation. Luxury items may not necessarily see an increase in spending, as the additional income may be used for practical expenses instead.
