But one thing to be aware of: I think you probably mean cost of HOUSING, not cost of living. Food costs, restaurants, gasoline, movies, cell phones, transportation generally all cost the same (or pretty close) no matter where you live unless where you're moving is outside the country.

Maybe. Unless you're going from one extreme to another. I live in between Columbus GA and Auburn AL, and I have friends in San Diego. Everytime I visit, my wallet cries. Groceries, gas, conversations about housing expenses, etc....According to this calculator, groceries are only 6% more expensive, but transportation costs is 22% higher and housing is 152% more expensive. Holy goodness.
