Most customers will be paying more for taxes in 2013 than they did in 2012. However, that is not the only chunk your pocketbook will withstand in the current year. Here is a review of just a few of the things that will cost more in this young year.
Things that will cost more: food
In 2013, food costs will increase by around four percent, according United States Department of Agriculture. The draught this year caused large increases in food costs, which means $40 a month additional for families.
The USDA explained that a 3.5 percent increase should be anticipated in baked goods and cereals.
But it is not just vegan foods that will cost more. The drought also caused the cost of feed grains to rise, growing the price of meat and eggs and milk and cheese and butter.
New car expenses to increase
The new car market in 2013 is going to get a bit more costly due to federally mandated fuel efficiency standards. These standards require that automakers invest in new technologies to create cleaner automobiles. Everyone will have to be paying more into vehicles to cover the research. The higher end Lexus CT 200h is going to cost $3,000 more this year than it would last year, but the Toyota Camry will still only cost about $175 more this year, according to U.S. News and World Report. It surely depends on the industry.
Things that will cost more: health insurance
American consumers will also fork out more for healthcare in 2013. Just how much will vary by state and plan, but employers, burdened with increased insurance premiums, will pass some of that cost on to their employees. According to the human resource consulting firm Aon Hewitt, that will mean a typical of $267 a year for American workers.
Getting a mobile phone
DealNews explained that T-Mobile is going to start charging full price for cell phones in 2013, which could very well mean that other cell providers will follow suit. It used to be that customers could get a cheaper cell phone if they signed a long contract with the cell business, but that is beginning to disappear.
Baseball more expensive
The price of cheap seats for the New York Mets is now increasing to $63. That is twice the cost in 2012. Other teams are growing their costs again. You will have to pay more to see baseball.
However, this is not overall. Other more fan-friendly teams, such as the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs, have either retained or lowered ticket costs.
