[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much is dependent on where you get a job/live. Do you have money to cover you for the time between when you move back and when you get a job? In my city, there is an online calculator for teacher salaries that shows the salary at each step and you can add in additional certification to project salary.

This is what I do
phone service: I pay $52/m for a t mobile plan that is fine
internet: $60/m for a basic plan
cable: only rich people do cable now. I have a roku with netflix and amazon prime, it's plenty
car: I bought a 2007 honda with 170k miles for $2000
groceries: $75 a week is fine for 1 adult and 1 younger kid

Things to consider:
-do you need to pay for aftercare or other childcare expenses
-who will claim the kid on taxes

I would not save for college during this time, make sure you are secure first then worry about college savings.[/quote]

Do you incur costs for health insurance each month?

If for example I am making $4665, net monthly, after the usual taxes, based on a 75k salary, will I pay also for health insurance on top of that? How much would end up coming out of my paycheck?[/quote][/quote]
