I feel the cost of living in my city is moderate nor very hig nor very much low.People on the basis of the income can lead a decent life as way from rent, groceries and other things are available depending upon the earning scale of people.We have variety to choose and lead a better life.

I live in the urban environment is not only poor but also the high level of consumption, all my wages to pay only the cost of living, there is no surplus balance. I was to make money, this really boring life.

Yes Balasri, I'm not happy even though I knew that there will be no reduction in future. As this matter just look likes our age, will never less and day goes by. But at least there is a "recess" for another five years. My personal opinion on this with a concrete reason. The increase of major consumer goods' price always closely before the government making an announcement to raise up its staffs monthly salary. So it does effects for low income people who are not working as government staff.
Anyway for businessman like me has always to look for every single opportunity from the problem aroused. As an problems always create good opportunities. just like at war, peoples will suffer a lot but for those tycoon who supply the weapons and medicine will be feeling very happy because on humanity factors they make more money.
That is what all about cost of living at my living place.

I think I can consider myself fortunate because my rent is quite a bit lower than most places however the cost of living makes it impossible to make ends meet even though I work full time. for me the worst is the grocery bill! I dont have a car so the price of gas dosent hit me as hard as others.
