Living costs in the U.S. can really vary based on where you are and how you live. On average:

  • Major cities (like New York, San Francisco): $2,500–$4,000/month (rent included)
  • Mid-sized cities (like Dallas, Atlanta): $1,800–$2,800/month
  • Smaller towns or suburbs: $1,500–$2,200/month

 

Note: Main expenses include housing, food, transport, healthcare, and utilities. Generally, cities on the coasts are pricier than those in the Midwest or South.
