Well Lady as far as I heard you'd be lucky to be making $800- $1000 a month teaching in Kampot,with a tefl and no degree- the schools outta PP usually dont pay holidays - 29 national plus sometimes a 2 week summer break so that month you might get $400-$500. You need good health insurance which for a family of 4 could be up to $4k per year health care is not great here and it costs, no obamacare here - visa for y'all $300x4 for the year - work permits if you get a job another $110 each. Carpenters get paid less than $200 a month, so a non starter....unless your husband is a real crack shot like Joseph, in which case maybe, just maybe he would get some work off westerners but he would need to get a work permit which to get would mean him setting himself up as a business, more of your $$$. Oh yeah gotta get them kids to school - if you were lucky enough to teach at an Ok school they may let 'em go to it for free....otherwise, depending on age you gotta pay anywhere from $1000-$10000 per year for the schools.....oh yeah then somewhere to live sure Siem Reap and Kampot maybe can get a 2 bed place for $200-$250 a month, plus $50 month bills.....lets say you never eat out or drink you can cook at home (no western things like cheese, hot dogs and all that) for $200 a month.
that ain;t considering things like holidays, trips home, birthdays, fun activities etc... make sure you got a lotta savings
I aint no maths teacher so maybe you can tot it all up for me.
