Best Answer

Generally speaking, people are spending money on things that other people are selling, that are things that they want. This is a fundamental law of economics.

Beyond that, answering your question depends very much on which part of the world you are talking about.

In the developing world, people spend their money on food, business, housing, other in that order. In the developed world, people spend their money on other, housing, business, food in that order.

In the developing world, "business" really means expenditures on what it takes to grow food. In the developed world, "business" means professional clothing, education, professional dues, etc, i.e. expenditures associated with earning money.

Other for the developing world means clothes, appliances, entertainment. Other for the developed world includes clothes, appliances, entertainment, but also includes iPads, ice cream and iTunes.

The simple fact that these four categories are reversed between the developing world and the developed world should give the person asking the question pause to possibly refine their question.
