Hello,

my husband and I are considering moving to PR. He is Puerto Rican with family on the island. We have 11, 13 and 5 year old. My husband will

have a job that will make 6 figures but I will be looking for work. Will we be able to love comfortably off his salary? Kids will go to private school but we won’t have to pay for it.

@Ejkernan Greetings and welcome! Honestly, Puerto Rico is quite expensive but with 6 figures you will probably do just fine. Which part of PR are you guys moving to? I can give recommendations on the best areas and schools if you would like. Best of luck!
