I really couldn't tell between NY and NC. I actually tried to break it down myself, and I figured after everything was said and done, it may have been around $1000 difference in cost of living per year for me. Upstate NY was slightly cheaper because you can get apartments for less up here. Break $1000 down by month or week, and it really isn't a whole lot.
Income tax is really only a small part. Really, housing costs, and their property taxes are a much bigger burden on your income. I mean, you could make less money in Cleveland, but have more money left over at the end of the year because a house will cost far less. (all things relative)
lol, if only...NJ is porbably the only state with higher taxes.
