Moving to a new city, let alone a new country, can be overwhelming. There are so many different factors to consider when determining if a new place will be a good fit for you and your family. One big consideration is the cost of living. How does it compare to your current city? How does your salary compare to your current salary? Will you be able to afford a similar lifestyle to which you are accustomed? Expatistan offers a cost of living calculator which compares cities all over the world for just this reason. We decided to do a little roundup of some popular cities in compared to New Orleans. This shows the cost of living index on the righthand side. Basically the higher the number, the more expensive the city. The number on the left is the ranking among other cities. So London is considered the 7th most expensive city in the world, while New Orleans is all the way down at number 63. While these numbers are helpful in giving us a general idea of how expensive a city is, considering what your new salary will be compared to what your current salary is, is also very important.
