Cost of living is the cost of maintaining a certain standard of living. The capitalist economic system seeks to extract as much profit out of consumers as possible, which tends to result in ever-increasing costs of living.
Socialism, on the other hand, is able to rationally reduce the cost of living to alleviate the burden on the wage-earning proletarian class.[1][2]
