I wonder how accurate this actually is... I punched in my details and apparently for my details there are less then 10 people like me. Considering where I live, age etc... that seems unlikely.

Same. It is clear now that I am a beautiful snowflake.
I dunno the results for entertainment were scarily accurate. Everything else seemed out, especially cost of food in my area, considering it's a "cafe" district and you'd be hard finding a cheap meal there.
I am but one of the many. I did notice, however, that the average monthly spend for people 'like me' is more than the monthly income of people 'like me'. Curious.
I was the same, less than 10 people. I live city fringe in Sydney, would have thought there were more people like me...
I put in my details and there were 25 people like me. And my spending habits, save for housing, is nothing like theirs.
The last thing they ask you to enter is your postcode, which if you did enter it, vastly reduces the number of people that you are being compared with. That, and most people here would be on a high income for their age compared to the rest of the population.
Agreed - seemed a bit under what I expected too.
