Interesting. For reference, rough figures from Finland:

- housing 28% - transport 15% - groceries 12% - culture and spare time 11% - personal well-being, extra studies, etc. 11.5%

Personally, I can confirm that living costs (i.e. rent or mortgage) indeed do chop the most off my salary but food comes already as the second, but then again I eat well :)
