While apartments (both to purchase and to keep) probably cheaper. (I don't know much about prices in U.S. )
My expenses for 50m*m flat are about $100 a month, but pensioners have discounts and can get along without Internet.
Groceries are on a par I believe.
Single ride by bus costs $.5 here, and for you?
You know more about prices and wages than I do. Dad pays the bills and mom buys the groceries and stuff. Even when I go shopping it's paid for with credit and I never remember how much anything costs. But I do remember that a 591 ml bottle of 7-up costs about $2.00 USD and a single serving can of smoked oysters is about $8.00 USD. But that was at a sandwich shop, not a grocery store. I really need to start looking at prices and make a list. I'll let you know what I learn.
I've never been on a bus so I googled it. Everywhere I go is in a car or a plane (if it's a long trip). Btw, I googled gas prices too.

I wish I could be more helpful but I don't work (except some chores at home) and I never deal with money issues.
Oh, and I also remember that dad got me 300 blank Sony DVD's for about 200 USD and my new 23" Acer monitor was about 300 USD.

Btw. the Federation Council has ratified the Bill to admit Crimea into Russia! There was only 1 "No" vote in the Lower Parliament and the vote of the Federation Council was unanimous!
