Just recently house prices in US dived quite badly, US have huge debts and how goverment spends money is not actually very best way, this all creates dark clouds to future and lowers value of currency.
Food is lot cheaper, houses are cheaper (unless you like to get center of new york, but still I have seen higher prices here), cars are almost free, gas is almost free, don't know about electricity, I pay around 0,083c/kwh which results 65€/3 months.
If you have electric heating, that is way over 100€/month as we have only few months when heating is not needed, quite cold country.
We pay from owning car, that is around 100€/year for old cars, then every car you own have to have insurance, insurance is not by person, but per car/vehicle.
At least in some states in US, you can get one insurance that you can use on several cars, you just put plates to car that you use.
You get better salary in US if you are engineer or something like that, bit of education and you are getting real sweet life there.
I pay income tax of 23%, then almost everything I buy has 22% of tax, which keep prices up quite well and keeps brakes on in our economy. Don't know how this goes in US?
We do have somewhat free health care, so we don't necessarily need to get insurance for that, but we pay it in taxes and that is something we can't avoid. We need to pay small fee when we go to see doctor and only at few first time.
I find interesting to compare how things are in different places, it gives bit more sight into how things really are in country one is living
