Yep,
Membership of a fitness club will set you back, maybe 2000 RMB/12 months. Your style of life apart from that will cost you at most 1500 RMB/month. In Jilin city, you'd expect a salary of between 10000 and 12000 RMB monthly for the job you're willing to do. As for proper medical insurance, forget it. It'll cost a bomb! But your employer should offer you 1000 Yuan for a two- semester contract,for you to pay for any medical expenses you may incur,or if you take out your own medical insurance, which will be pretty basic at those prices! You should be able to get it in two parts, each at the end of each semester, even if you haven't spent a penny at the doctor's nor taken out medical insurance. As for overtime, that concept doesn't go down well with Chinese! Actually, they'll pay less than the ordinary rate in many cases, and they don't consider weekend work or evening work as overtime at most private training centers.If your prospective employer doesn't offer you paid holidays, basically equates to a salary of a fixed amount every month for each of the number of months your contract encompasses plus holiday travel allowance of between 2200 Yuan and 2600 Yuan for a two semester gig, you'll know he's a penny-pincher! Make sure your quoted salary is not gross, ie before tax. Otherwise you could be duped by being short-changed on 'fictitious' tax payments to the tax body there, though no tax is in fact paid! Though you're officially entitled to exchange up to 30% of your salary on a month by month basis only into foreign currency, it's possible to change the rest on the black market - usually shady characters outside the main Bank of China in the city. Don't worry about finding them. Go there, and they'll find you outside the bank! Bringing your own vehicle over is a waste of money. You can buy or rent one, but I don't think that's necessary! Demand total reimbursement for a one-way tourist class flight ticket for a two-semester gig.
Beware: anything agreed orally will likely be denied later! Private employers may cheat you out of end of contract bonuses, last month's pay, and flight reimbursement! Make sure said employer can get you a Z visa!Working on L's or F's compromises your possible clout with him, besides being illegal, which will necessarily prevent you seeking independent arbitration in case of an unresolvable dispute.

I can't answer your question with any degree of accuracy until you provide more details such as where about in China would you be wishing to live and work? There's a big difference in the cost of living between Shanghai and a provincial third-tier city. Would you accept free accommodation that goes with the job or insist upon moving off-campus into more luxurious housing that you'd have to pay for? Are you a vegetarian or not? Would you be willing to desert American fast food for Chinese food? Would you cook for yourself regularly or dine out. Would you eat at the school dining hall or at restaurants? Are you a (heavy) smoker or not? Are you a (heavy) drinker or not? Would you be looking to drive or not? Would you mind hoofing it around town, or taking (crowded) public transport, or would you require to travel everywhere locally by taxi? Are you necessarily into tourism in big cities? Are you looking to get laid in red light districts? Are you a bar fly? Do you need comprehensive medical insurance cover while in China?
More details, sir!
In addition, you should consider how many teaching periods per week you are prepared to work, and the pressure you might expect to be comfortable with in your new job. Working in international schools or private training centres is a very different kettle of fish from teaching in the public sector.
I'm sure 60000 USD in the States can support a much better standard of living in a one-horse town than it could in the Big Apple, got my gist?
