Hi Pats,

I've been offered a Job in the US as a Technical Specialist salary circa
$80K. How does the cost of living in the US (I'll be based from home, so looking at New Mexico, but can live any where) compare to the UK. I'm married with two teenage kids ie: Per Month

Mortgage/Rent UK: £700 US:?
Council Tax £140
Gas £60
Electric £60
Phone £30
Internet (ADSL) £30
Water Rates/Meter £50
Foiod Shopping £500
Life Insurence £26
Mobil Phone £30
SKY TV (Cable) £47
TV License £13

Then there's running a car: Per Month (I know fuels cheaper!!)

Car Tax £10
Insurence £35
MOT(Over 3 years) £10
Breakdown Cover £14
Servicing £30

Plus anything else you can think of!! I'm looking at Los Alamos as according to a survey on the web it's the best place to live...Any ideas?

Thanks & Regards,

Rocom.
