Sqeeling Brakes

My brakes started squeeling (metal on metal sound) just recently. I know all 4 corners were done at 60K km and it now has 110K km....I just would like to know if this is a typical wear cycle (60K). Excuse the basic question but I tried to search and its not working properly today. Thanks in advance.
P.S Whats an estimate of the cost to do the brakes.

i'm having sqeeling brakes too....only on the front two....but it only happens at low mph (40 or below)....or maybe it happens at high mph but i just can't hear it cuz i got my windows rolled up....the squeeling gets REALLY loud if i'm braking in a parking lot which is really embarassing. been squeeling since i got new pads (7k miles).....any suggestions comments appreciated =)

Your front brakes are probably gone. I only got 20k miles out of my fronts. Get new brake pads before you ruin your rotors. New pads aren't too expensive.

brake pads can last for up to 100k miles, if your brakes are squeaking at 20k then you need to check the calipers to see if pins need grease or bed the brekas in properly.. is it a loug sqeeling or teeth grinding metal to metal??
