Compared to NJ:
1. Cheaper
2. Better weather
3. Government that stays (mostly) out of my life.
4. People are friendlier. Yes, some are jerks. I stay away from those. I can count the time on one finger where I got paired with someone for golf that was a jerk. Most are lovely folks, with great life stories. Hope they think the same about me!
5. A crazy amount of things to do.
Sure, you can find someplace cheaper to live. But if that was my goal I would have moved to the middle of nowhere in any state other than the NE, West coast, Illinois (see a pattern here?).
All things considered, happy I made the move!
