I think you can get a pretty good picture of the cost by searching the form. The problem is we are changing our life style so eating out may cost about the same as back home, but maybe you eat out two or three times as often as you did back home. Also maybe you did not water your lawn but now you do. I think property taxes will be your big difference, but part of this difference can be offset by HOA fees etc if you did not have them before.
