Hello,
I am a teacher on Long Island with 20 years experience and
MA+75 credits, teaching special education. I have a
husband and two teen age children. We are considering a
move to New Mexico (possibly Rio Rancho). Seven years
ago, my husband was diagnosed with a serious, rare genetic
illness and is disabled. I am the sole supporter of our
family and Long Island cost-of-living is making it very
difficult to make ends meet, even though teacher salaries
here are truly decent. My question is, can a family of
four survive on one teacher's salary in Rio Rancho. If we
sell our home here, it might be possible for us to buy a
little house there with little to no mortgage. If I am
paid somewhere between $40,000 to $50,000 thousand a year,
would the cost-of-living in NM make it affordable for me
to support my family?
Thank you,
Rosemarie
