My husband's work is offering a project manager (IT) position to him, it involves relocating from Mexico to Reston VA.
It sounded really good a the beginning, as it is a great opportunity, but he's already being underpaid and they are converting his current rate to dollars and the "cost of living" over there, according to them.. I feel like it is to little money for this position.. they're not even giving him a pay raise at all!
He wants to take the job, I don't want to go to another country with what I consider not enough money to live like we do right now, considering that we would have to leave everything behind (house, car, everything!) and relocating our pets will be really hard.
They are offering 48k without insurance for me, and I think we would have to pay taxes from it.. rents in that area were like 1500 - 2000 last time I checked.
What can I tell him? He is REALLY excited and won't listen to anything, if we don't go he'll resent me for the rest of his life, I'm pretty sure.
Do you think I'm being unreasonable and that it is a good pay?? Is it worth it??
Any advice is welcome, and if you are familiar with the area I would really appreciate some info
I apologise about any grammar mistake as this isn't my first language, and thank you all in advance :)

TLDR; husband was offered job with what I consider a low pay, he wants to take it, I don't think it is worth it
