Americans are paying more for healthcare, loans and lease
According to CNN Money in 2014 Americans will face higher prices for real estate services and some food items.
Property acquisition
In 2014 the price of houses and apartments will continue to grow. Experts note that property values will increase by 5%. In addition, the loan will also be more expensive. Last year, mortgage rates have reached historic lows. However, this year they increased by one percent and amounted to about 4.5 %. It's $ 60 for every $ 100 thousand loaned for 30 years with a fixed interest rate.
Rent
It is expected that the apartment rent will increase by 3.1 % compared to last year. In 2013 average rent was $ 1107 per month. The rent will rise on apartments in the cities where citizens come to look for work.
Health
Health care costs will increase by 7 % compared to 3% growth in 2013. Average treatment costs will increase to $ 5 thousand per year. This is 150% more than 10 years ago.
Taxes
December 31, 2013 the privileged programs to the public expired. Tax cuts dealt with areas ranging from support for teachers and ending with high-tech improvements to buildings. Now all U.S. citizens have to pay taxes in full as long as Congress does not approve a new law on concessions.
Chocolate
This year again will increase the cost of the finished chocolate product. Bad weather conditions in the countries where they grow cocoa beans and increase in domestic demand for products containing cocoa influence the prices.
