“Show me where you spend your money and I’ll tell you what you are.”

Studies have shown that the inhabitants of Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels behave differently in spending and saving their money. Flemish and Walloon people are the biggest spenders with only saving 10% and 12% of their income, while people in Brussels save at least 14% per month. Apparently not only the spend amount of money but also the way in which their salary is spend, depends on the place where people live. In Brussels, they spend a lot of money on the rent of their home while Flemish spend it on leisure and people in Wallonia on the cost of light and electricity.
