		<description>Greetings from Australia!
First-timer here and I&#039;m enjoying the tough-love-no-bullshit approach to PF. I checked out the website and am proud to say that our household spending is way below the &quot;normal&quot; or average spending amount of our peers. Even though the data is US-based, I suppose the spending pattern and amount of people in most western countries within an income group would be rather similar (since we&#039;re also afflicted with similar type of inflated lifestyle). And yes, there&#039;s also a Melbourne in US too :)
Cheers,
Bytta</description>

		<description>I&#039;m trying to cut waaaaaaay back this year. Not easy but so far better than last year.

Which, ironically, will hurt the economy. :-(</description>

		<description>Cool site.  But I spend way less than most people on food and dining out.  I wrote a post about my meal costs and posted my yearly budget on my website.  I like to compare my spending habits with others.  Everyone has different priorities!</description>
