We are renting an apartment in the expensive west coast

while we are still paying mortgage on our house in our home state. I just started a new job after I relocated with him and I like what I do even though the starting salary sucks but I think I might have opportunity to advance. My salary alone is not enough to pay the rent. He started to plan moving back to our home state for lower living expenses there but I don't want to give up my job and there might not be this kind of job in our home state.
