Most
people
assume
that
the
cost
of
living
has
risen
____________________
for
everyone
over
time
.
However
,
they
are
mistaken
.
For
some
it
has
risen
much
more
____________________
than
for
others
,
with
teenagers
(
or
their
long
-
suffering
parents
)
experiencing
the
biggest
____________________

____________________
,
the
yearly
cost
of
a
British
17

years
-
old
lifestyle
has
____________________
from
£750
to
£9
,

a
year
over
the
last
40
years
-
and
those
are
inflation

adjusted
figures
.
That's
a
twelvefold

____________________
the
biggest
expenses
are
food
,
housekeeping
,
and
clothing
,
but
it's
the
thigs
which
weren't
available
in
1975
which
really
add
to
today's
cost
.
For
example
,
17

years
-
old
these
days
clocks
up
to
£420
on
avarage
for
their
mobile
phone
.
On
top
of
that
,
they
spend
around
£200
on
digital
music
.
That's
more

things

despite
the

They
now
average
around

and

a

____________________
.
____________________
,
some
things
are
cheaper
now
,
such
as
game
consoles
,
which
have
fallen

from
£1

200
in
1975
to
£300
now
,
and
transport
,
which
has
dropped

in
price
.
As
most
parents
know
,
however
,
a
games
console
in
1975
was
a
luxury
,
while
for
many
of
today's
teens
,
it's
closer
to
being
a
necessity
.
