We had over a thousand responses to our recent survey, "Who Are You." I'm not sure that the responses surprised me all that much. Our biggest audience is women between the ages of 18-54. The one response that did surprise me was the number of people who said they lived in the country or rural area -- 25%.

And when we asked what we could do to improve your experience at 101WaysToSaveMoney.com, here are some of the responses we received. Looks like I'm going to have to spend a little time researching "Down Under" for our savers in Australia.

I've just discovered the site and find it down-to-earth. What I am very impressed with is your article about how to shop on foodstamps. I find whether have foodstamps or are a millionaire the list is smart and healthy. It's what brought me back, so thank you. I'm a vegetarian, try to eat healthy. Coupons (at least those where I am) are little help; 99.9% of them seem to be for prepared, sugared food. But this list was great with use of healthy items like tofu and dried beans. Thank you.

I am an "early retiree" and living on a fixed income that is smaller than my paycheck was is scary. Would like advice on ways to enjoy retirement and yet live within the new budget perameters.

I need a detailed step by step plan for immediate debt relief and management. I want to get out of debt but I don't know where to start.

I work Mon.-Fri. 8-5. My government job only pays $19,000. per year, but the benefits are great. My daughter, son-in-law and 2yr old grandson live with me & pay $500 per month. I still am not making enough money to save or pay extra on my mortgage. I'm trying to figure out a second job that I would really love & enjoy to help improve my financial situation. Any suggestions?

Nothing, just love those money saving tips.

Any chance of having someone look at ways to save in Australia.

I love your site, please don't think otherwise! But I have to say their are automatic assumptions that all readers live in the US. Being Australian, it's hard to convert Americanisms (and I'm not just talking jelly/jam)into something recognisable. Even if you had a link that explained, or a separate web page... It's frustrating, too, to hear about Costco or Sam's, knowing we don't have them. That sort of thing. Don't forget, whatever hints I can get, I'll relish!

I don't know yet. I'm new to trying the frugal lifestyle and trying to save the planet.

Have more Proctor and Gamble product coupons. It's a wonderful company. They make the best products.
