More and more people want to immigrate to the United States, so what is the estimated cost of living in the United States?

Living expenses budget of American immigrants

Live. Just landed in the United States, do not want to rent a house, you have to buy a house. Even if you buy it in Los Angeles, it is much cheaper than Beijing and Shanghai. Owning your own house has some expenses, that is, property fees and monthly water and electricity fees. The property fee of the villa is relatively low, because the courtyard and surrounding environment of the house are maintained by themselves, so it costs more than one hundred yuan or two hundred yuan a quarter, including garbage fees, depending on the community. There is also the gas and electricity bill, which is generally about 200 yuan a month. Water charges in the United States are relatively cheap. If you don't water it in winter, it will cost tens of dollars every two months, and nearly 200 dollars in summer.

Eat it. Where there is space, there is food. Eating in America is very cheap, especially when people like to cook at home. The food here is generally 1.00 dollars a pound (equal to 9 Liang), and the meat is about 2.00 dollars a pound. Food in America is not expensive. A bag of 25 pounds of noodles is less than $ 10, and a bag of 25 pounds of rice is about $20. Many people here eat Japanese food, and Thai fragrant rice is also available.

Clothes. American brand clothes are very cheap, such as a pair of LEE jeans. You can buy it within 15 when you have a discount. In America, even if you wear a world-famous dress, no one will take a second look. It's about wearing what you make, which is unique and admirable. There is no need to follow the fashion at an expensive price. Be sure to spend time with the mall, aim at the opportunity of discount, and then shoot when it is time to shoot. Every Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year, major shopping malls will offer discounts. You can spend more money on clothes, shoes and bags at this time. For example, you can buy three clothes at a discount of 65,438+000, 60% off shoes and 65,438+050 brand bags.

Education. Children with green cards enjoy the same teaching benefits as locals in the United States. Children need to pay for kindergarten, just like China. It is basically free for children to go to primary school. Schools usually have school buses to pick them up. Of course, this is a public primary school. Like private schools, parents have to send their children to and from school and pay tuition fees. There is a charge for a school bus, but the education they receive is completely different from that in China. American higher education is recognized as the first in the world. Children with green cards only need a few thousand dollars to attend ordinary public universities for one academic year. If it is a private university, it is generally between 20,000 and 30,000 US dollars.

Insurance. There is another expense that has to be said in living in the United States, and that is health insurance. The elderly over 65 in the United States basically don't need money to see a doctor. If young people buy medical insurance, they can basically be reimbursed for seeing a doctor within the scope of medical insurance. 80%-90% of the general medical insurance shall be borne by the employer, and 10%-20% shall be borne by the individual. The medical conditions in the United States are very good, and the attitude and professionalism of medical staff are also very good, so there will be no indiscriminate prescription of drugs, because the management in this area in the United States is very strict. American society is fair to most people. As long as new immigrants are down-to-earth and work hard, they will live a happy life.
