okay very complicated question but it is what i have been asked.........
bearing in mind i have no real experience in teaching i am chuffed with the job offers i have been getting
and i don't want to be rich either, i want enough money to mean that i can live happily as i am also bringing sum savings with me. I plan to live and work in Kerala.
so, its pretty much a salary more than your avergae India but obviously i cannot expect as much as a experienced teacher,
how much does being a ntive speaker add to your pay packet?
Any idea's don't want to go to high or low xxxxxxxxxxxx

if your apt. is free, then 10,000 a month in a cheap city like Ahmedabad for example will let you live an upper-middle class/middle-class life able to afford a maid as well.

and you should save about 4000/mo.

What makes you think your partner will earn anything?

Why do you want to work for peanuts?
