[B]The cost of living isn't so bad once you get used to it. Plus, it's not as if you'll be living on the Upper East or Upper West Sides, where sometimes things cost a little more. You'll be in Nyack--I think it's either Putnam or Rockland County. It's a suburb, but not an expensive suburb like Greenwich or Bedford.
Hey, I agree with Munchkin about the cost of living, yeah, NYC is expensive but if you budget and plan ahead you'll be fine. The major differences I notice outside of rent are the cost of night life and entertainment. Yeah, if you hang out in lounges and clubs you will spend a lot of cash but I still can go out in my neighborhood with $20.00 and have a really good nite. I am also one of those people who prefers to eat out over cooking so that is where most of my $$$ goes.
