[Graphical source](https://www.statista.com/statistics/591409/household-net-adjusted-disposable-income/); likely [original source](https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/sdg_10_20/default/table?lang=en) with per capita measures (Eurostat); also check out [OECD source](https://data.oecd.org/hha/household-disposable-income.htm)

    [Per capita version](https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/si2kos/adjusted_gross_disposable_income_of_households/)

    A few interesting notes:

    * Belgium is above NL; France is pratically the same as NL (by GDP per capita NL is way ahead of BE and FR)
    * France is higher than Denmark, UK (do these countries have much higher taxes than France?)
    * Italy is right behind UK, while by GDP per capita it is way lower
    * Ireland (corporate tax haven): a very large discrepency between disposable income and GDP per capita
    * Other countries (mostly Eastern Europe are cut off from the image, see source for the full picture

    Some of these could be explained by the difference in a [typical household size](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1231406/average-household-size-in-europe/) (though the difference across countries is very small)

  5. Surprised Spain and Portugal aren’t even lower. Its crazy how little spending there is here.
