Virtually no risk she'll see 65k.yr here. I believe the range at virtually places is $22-28/60 minutes. Bear in mind that your dollar will go much further hither than information technology does there though.

I call up (although I could exist wrong) that, in general, salaries downward here volition typically exist less than what they were for a similar type of job / position in the NorthEast (but there is also a lower cost of living hither which balances that out).

My guess would be that, in relocating from the NorthEast, maintaining the same salary level is really simply going to happen if:

a) Y'all take a job downwards here and, in negotiations, are able command an equal or higher bacon than at your previous job
b) You work remotely for a company and, hence, your choice of a new location will not affect your current salary

You might want to look into traveling positions--they can be VERY lucrative. For instance, a best friend of mine has been doing it for over a year with thirteen week contracts at a fourth dimension. She makes nigh $25 per hour AND she gets Not-TAXED housing stipends of $1800 per month. She also gets free health insurance.

And then, a xl hour work calendar week gives her $52,000 per yr. $ane,800 ten 12 = $21,600.

Have xxx% out of $52k for taxes = $36,400

$36,400 + $21,600 = $58,000

If yous add PRN shifts to the mix, this income would be even greater! And now that I retrieve about it, RNs only work 36 hour piece of work weeks, so anything after that would be OT. So conform the numbers accordingly.

Compare $58,000 internet salary to a $65,000 gross salary:

70% of $65,000 = $45,500

So, at the end of the mean solar day she could exist making $58,000 versus $45,500, which more than downwards hither than what she'southward doing up north. You exercise the math.

Seriously, at that place are all kinds of traveling positions and she would never have to leave the expanse. In fact, it'southward possible for her to travel up and down floors inside the SAME hospital.

My married woman is doing this now as a traveling SLP. She makes more in her not taxed stipends than she does in her taxed income. She'due south pretty much making forty% this road than she would if she went into a permanent position. That said, it's very possible to renew the 13 calendar week contracts over and over for the aforementioned company in the same facility.

Make sense?

Yikes! 40-80 cents?? Yowsers! It'due south more like $5 extra on nights and some other $5-10 on the weekends down hither for permanent positions.

Well that would depend on the amount of debt yous have.

We have been happy on less income in the by, no kids, with debt, aforementioned toll betoken, and in Cornelius.

If yous have a "normal" financial situation, then you'd be quite happy and very comfortable in that cost range with that income.
