Wow, things are expensive here in the U.S.A.

The reality of just how expensive things here in the U.S.A. are is really hitting home. I'm not talking about luxury items. I'm talking about basics: cars, car insurance, mobile/cell phone plans, gas (although cheaper than in europe, the distances are larger and one MUST have a car to get around, so it's expensive), and then monthly bills like gas, electric, water. I'm not complaining, although I'm sure it sounds that way, but I'm experiencing major culture and ticket shock just getting to a basic survival mode of existence here in the good 'ole U.S. of A.
