Assuming that your miles are U.S./British (1.6km) and not Irish, Danish (7.5km), Swedish mile (10km) or something else, that would be 24000km. If I would ride those 15000 miles (24000km) per year, I would buy $277 of gas per month. Americans have traditionally paid less for gas, but used more to go the same distance. I use $530 per month for gas per month, and that's a lot - but I commute a long distance. With regard to housing, the American budget didn't seem expensive to me, but the RE tax did. But if you put taxes, insurances etc. into one category, it almost adds up to the same as here. We don't pay any health insurance, but we pay more income tax and get a similar service.
