Many MMA gyms that are considered "legitimate" enough to use a belt system will cost you in that price range. The MMA gym I go to, however, teaches Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, and boxing, but doesn't have a system of ranking. They just teach you at whatever level you're comfortable with and move along as you decide. This gym only costs me $45 a month. I won't be officially recognized for anything I learn, but I don't particularly care. I'm just doing it for the health benefits. If you don't care about having a belt or gi, you could do what I did and find some hole-in-the-wall gym with a small but close-knit group of students.
I bought my gear on clearance from mmawarehouse.com, and my bag gloves, handwraps and mouthpiece cost me all of $30.
I suggest attending any aerobic kickboxing classes you can find. That will kick your ass in the most positive way possible.

From what I am reading on the internet many places charge around that price range. Most classes are about $60 - $100 per month. They say you should take the amount of hours in the gym and divide up the money you spend to see how much you are charged per hour, essentially. That gives you a better idea of what you are learning verses how much you are spending. If it isn't worth, say, $7 an hour then it's best to stop and find a new place to learn at.
The problem is that if you are in the United States then your parents make be affected by the financial crisis going on. It may be that you will have to stop your training right now until budgets are a little less stressed. Remember that your parents are working very hard to keep the family running normally and you may have to sacrifice a little bit to help a lot.
So, the price is about right for what it is but you might have to find an alternative for a little while until your family can afford it. $90/month is a lot if you're only getting paid, say, minimum wage and have two children at home plus your spouse.
Since I'm not entirely sure about the $40 every level up and the $30 of essential things I would head on over to a forum specifically for taekwondo mma and other martial arts. This may prove to be most helpful:

Sorry I couldn't have been more help but not many people are into martial arts on Advicenators right now. Feel free to link other people here though so we can get some good advice regarding such activities. It would be helpful to lots of people, I'm sure. Hope you find exactly what you're looking for! :)
