I am considering a move to Rio Rancho, New Mexico from
Long Island, New York. I am a special education teacher
and have been working for 20 years in the public school. I
would like to continue teaching in New Mexico and
currently hold three certifications. I have questions
regarding cost of living. Here on Long Island, I can
support my two children and husband (he has recently been
diagnosed with a genetic disorder and has had to stop
working). My question is...can a person support a family
of four on a teacher's salary in Rio Rancho if there are
no loans (no car or mortgage debt). I've seen cost of
living charts, but I'd like to hear from anyone who can
answer this in their opinion. Also, how much is family
medical and is it automatically granted if there is a pre-
existing condition (such as my husband's illness). Thank
you for your time and consideration of these questions.

Well... maybe. You could probably find a cute little 2 or 3 br
house in Rio Rancho for $100-130,000. There's a Wal-Mart for
cheap food if you don't find it unethical to shop there.
I don't know about the Rio Rancho schools. In Albuquerque--
and many Albuquerque schools are EXTREMELY close to Rio Rancho
