There is a neat feature on the City-Data that compares cost of living between the town you live in and the town you are looking to move to. I looked up Raleigh first and here is the comparison. Our state taxes are so low you don't even have to worry about them.
I will go the way you will be going with the comparison this time. One moment please...

I just used the salary the sample chose. Go to Austin information on City Data and put in your real salary and you can get a better comparison. This feature is close to the bottom of the page of information for your city.
One thing you will need to think about is are you planning to stay in Raleigh for the rest of your life or will you be moving again and have to pay a lot more for the next area you are moving to as to housing costs, etc. Sometimes that can be a problem.
