Cost of living

The cost of living in every country is different. For example, I'm from Poland and when I was visiting Czech Republic I was surprised how much cheaper everything was. And when I visited Madrid and later that year Netherlands I could barely afford stuff! It's really amazing how different the cost of living is everywhere. In fact, if I managed to completely support myself with my online gigs, I would in fact not move west, but east - to somewhere with a lower cost of living, so I could afford more.

If just the items you listed, yes, we could buy that list for 20.00, or less, However, give us a list of items with more substance, if you will, and ask again. Food is the hardest thing I deal with day in and day out. (I am a personal chef) The cost of food here in the U .S. is absoultely ridiculous and most famalies are having a hard time putting meat on the table. Everytime I shop it seems a couple of pennies are added to things I bought just a couple of days before. I am in the grocery store almost daily so I really notice this. It's getting harder and harder to put good, nutritious food on the table 7 days a week. I don't know when it's going to end but I fear no time soon. When it gets to the point when you have to choose between eating and paying the electric bill, like so many do, things are out of control and the grocery store trip has turned into a nightmare rather than an enjoyable experience. To add insult to injury, our Government has just recently announced that people living on Social Security and disability will again this year get no increase in our checks. This is two years running now that we have not had a raise because they say there has been no increase in the cost of the living. I guess the people who make these decisions have not been to the grocery store in the past year, nor paid an electric bill or put gas in their car or paid insurance premiums and I can go on and on. Whatever planet they are living on, I like to go there too...

Well, all I can say that when times have been really tough, I've managed to do a lot with 20.00 .

Hi. allknowing. If I was to shop at Dollar General or The Dollar Tree, I probably would get all of this for less than $10-15. But in a typical store it can cost this much or a little bit more too. Here in the U.S. prices and taxes have its way of becoming extremely ridiculous.

Everywhere you were go high prices will affect you budgets, so today we must be wise how to spend hard money we earn... see you around
