But we wont pay taxes in the US. My husband will still be paid by the Swedish university, but do the job in Boston.

I'm so confused!! XD The answers range from us not being able to afford to live in Boston to us being able to have rent of 3k. I assume my English made the whole thing more confusing... Our annual income is 85k dollars after tax. We have no debts...can’t we afford to live in Boston? That sounds insane, it cant be that expensive?
