From the USA and food prices are closure to 20-30% of my income now. I do have a family though.

There was a discussion earlier when I looked up figures for this, obviously the data is pre-Trump.

People in the US spend so little on food because they spend much more on insurance, rent and vehicle maintenance than Europeans.

Disposable income is a similar proportion, with the US average being a bit more on absolute terms, while the EU average being a bit more on PPP.

In any case this is an IIRC bit, so I might be wrong.
