NYTimes had a great piece recently on what do people spend on. Their data visualization method is superb, and you quickly learn that Americans spend a lot (if you did not already know that)! India is way behind!

How people spend their discretionary income – the cash that goes to clothing, electronics, recreation, household goods, alcohol – depends a lot on where they live.
