My husband and I have been living and teaching high school in NYC for the past 7 years. We are both originally from NY (upstate and Queens) but lately, we’ve been itching to leave. Our families are here, so that makes it hard to leave but we have been considering leaving more seriously recently. We’ve always discussed it on and off for the past few years but always ended up on staying in our comfort zones. But now, we had a long talk and came to the realization that we cannot have the life we want in NY. We will never be able to afford a house that we want in an area that we want. That is just one of many reasons we are considering a move. However, what holds me back is the teaching salaries in other states. We do not have kids and are planning to remain child free, so we’d just have to worry about the two of us. We are considering NC (I have a good friend in Apex) and PA (I have extended family in the Harrisburg area). I know these states are large, of course, so I haven’t really pinpointed exact areas we’d want to be in yet, as we are still just researching and talking it out.
I wanted to ask if anyone had any advice, personal experience, or just tips to share. Thanks in advance!
