I think I'm going to leave it on here for now, as I've said previously I have an entire network of Americans who can advise on finances. It's getting quite contrary one person says quality of life is great, then everyone else can't help but tell me how much expensive everything and it seems set to discourage me. I'm guessing next you're going to tell me MIT don't know what they're doing and more than doubling their recommended living wage will still have us living like paupers? https://livingwage.mit.edu/states/26

I'd still welcome advice related to the process of applying for a visa/greencard and tips for getting set up.
Please remember people are just trying to help. You implied in your first post that you've decided to move for job/financial reasons, hence people have been focused on that side of things. Nobody is trying to discourage you, just to make you aware before you spend tens of thousands on moving your family and then maybe aren't any better off after that.

I'll close this thread now as you're done with it, but if you have questions about the visa process, you should post those questions in the Marriage Based Visas sub forum, where you'll get good advice.

Best of luck.
