Four out of ten Spaniards only have money to buy the basics

53% say they have a comfortable economy and only 9% say they can spend freely regardless of what it costs, according to a Nielsen report

   Despite the fact that from the institutions do not stop repeating that the crisis was behind and that the Spanish economy has grown at a very good pace, the truth is that many Spanish households have been very resentful of those years. A clear example of this is that the report 'Consumer prosperity' by Nielsen reveals that almost four out of ten Spaniards affirms that they only have money for basic products .

  At the other extreme, those who can spend freely regardless of what they cost only represent 9% of the respondents, while the remaining 53% say they have a comfortable economy that allows them to luxuriate more or less frequently. This group considers that their accounts are more healthy than five years ago, so they can enjoy more pleasures such as gastronomy.

And it is that this has been the case in which Spanish spending has increased the most with respect to 2014, according to the study. Food is the leg of consumption in which 28% of respondents spend today more than before.

The report explains that in the last five years there has been a revaluation of the line of large consumption, so that the Spanish "are launched to change certain items for others with higher added value . " Thus, beers or wines are two of the many examples in which Spaniards consume better, as was clear in the study on 'Great Consumption 2018' presented by Nielsen on the balance of the market in 2018.

The sectors in which demand has continued to increase are travel and technology . With the economic recovery, 23% of Spaniards now spend more than in 2014 on both. In addition, 22% say that more money is left than before in education with the aim of guaranteeing a more prosperous future.
