It's so foolish to just leave that out. I am very curious as to where the average person is today in relation to the past. Not only that, taxes are a HUGE chunk out of my check every week!!!!

When exploring it, my instinct is to click again on the single sector I have zoomed in on, in order to make it go back to the full graph - but that doesn't work. Took me a moment to figure out how to get back to the main graph. Would also be nice to have a key worked in there somewhere. What are cash contributions? What is the boundary between food and entertainment? Super job... I CAN'T WAIT for the tutorial!! Great!!

Would have thought that with the rise in gaming and possibly home cinema (was VHS as expansive as DVD in the US i know it wasn't in the UK) over those years would have made a difference to entertainment. Either that or cinema has taken a huge hit, would be interesting to see if these could be further sub-divided. I’m actually quite shocked by how stable the amounts are.
