Actually it generally goes 1) housing 2) transportation 3) food, and pretty much everything else is single digit percentages of income. Also, DirecTV doesn't mean you have a nice TV - it probably means that cable isn't in the area or that spending $50 extra a month on satellite is a good investment if you watch a lot of TV as opposed to going out.
