As of December 2010 the cost of living has gone up dramatically in Bolivia. Everything costs more now, food, furniture, transportation and especially housing.

cost of living in bolivia by: BoliviaBella
Living costs vary dramatically from one region or city to the next in Bolivia. It would be helpful if you could provide a little more information, such as which city you might specifically have an interest in.
However, in the meantime, you might want to check out this discussion from our forums - it addresses the costs of living in Santa Cruz (which is probably the most expensive city to live in Bolivia at this time). See Costs of Living per Week.
Please also read some of the discussions in our Living in Bolivia Forum - some of them discuss the costs of importing your household goods or vehicles, purchasing land and/or houses, etc.
If you take a look at our page on utilities (gas, water, electricity, phone, etc.) you'll see what the approximate utilities costs are (it's based on Santa Cruz but applies pretty well to the rest of the country).
If you are interested in a specific city, you could either reply to this forum with further information or enter a new message through one of our specific Bolivian city forums here.
