Great weather, cheap to live and the wages are quite comparable to the Albany area from what I have seen. In fact I moved down here for a raise. I don’t know what you do, but I have to disagree with that. A guy I work with (same job as I have) moved to Charlotte for a major paycut, but way cheaper living expenses. He says it was about even including the property taxes and heat costs, but was ready for a change. He had 3 kids, he had to take them out of school in NC because they were so far ahead of all the other kids coming from NY that they were getting in trouble from being bored. That’s an all hearsay story from my buddy, but now he’s trying to take a job back in Syracuse… SYRACUSE. I guess sometimes you get what you pay for. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/best-state-to-move-to/266016)._
