I have been here a year and a half, and I haven’t really been surprised by any unexpected costs. Insurance and grocery prices have risen, but they would have risen equitably where I moved from. The only expense I had to get under control was dining out. Since I felt like every day was a “vacation day” when I first moved here, I treated it as such, and ate out all three meals every day for the first several months, with dinner usually being at a pricey FMK restaurant. I had to get that under control, and now only eat out one meal per day.
For those that did their homework, I think you’ll be prepared financially.
