I am an American. It is very expensive to live here and the costs are rising astronomicaly. Minimum wage is just under $8 per hour. Most of these jobs are not enough to support a family, basically that is all you will end up making without college education.
Get training in a specific field before coming here. Most Americans are college educated so there is quite a competition for jobs.
If you are not educated, plan on making no more than minimum wage.
Car factories are laying off thousands of workers, General Motors just layed off 3,500 workers. Its tough just to get a laborers position, not many available.
Gas prices are souring, its roughly $4 a gallon and because of that, food prices are reaching an all time high. My grocery bill is $180.00 per week for family of 5.
Depending upon where you live, you have to consider heating costs as well.
NY State is extremely pricey.
Another thing to remember. You may be making a minimum of $8 per hour but you don't..you are taxed on everything you buy... and every bit of income you earn, and its just not pennies.

How do you plan on support yourselves with a 3 month old?
Daycare costs are outrageous. That will take your half your salary just for someone to take care of your precious daughter.


America is a wonderful place to live, but even the American people struggle day to day to live without decent incomes.


I have 2 daughters that make minimum wage because they are students.
There is no way they can live on their own with the salaries they make. Therefore, they live at home with me.

You have a baby. Health Care is very expensive, unless you have a good job and your employer has good benefits, that alone could do you in.
Many self employed Americans don't even have health care benefits.

I don't want to discourage you from coming to America, it is a great Country.
But please do your homework before you come. You have a little one to think about.
