Hi all,
I am very excited to be coming to Katy, Texas to work as a Secondary Computer Science teacher.
I do however had a few questions (quite a few ) I am hoping you guys could help me out with
What would you consider a comfortable lifestyle wage? I have a wife and 2 children. We will be renting paying around $1600 a month.
I am hoping the salary to be around $60,000. Is this a good wage for the area and would this be a comfortable living for us or is it likely my wife will need a job.
We have access to a car pool for the first year.
Our apartment will be furnished before we arrive
Medical coverage ( with some co-pay) I have no idea what this is!
I would try and continue to pay for my pension in the UK just until we know if we will stay or not that would be around $450 and we have a loan which we will be paying off around $350 but may get most of that cleared before we go.
I have had a look at living expenses and it seems I'd be ok however, it would be nice to get some peoples real life opinions rather than just looking up costs on the net.
I hope you are al enjoying yourself over there!
