I agree it is cheaper here than where we lived in the Midwest. Real estate taxes alone are $4500 less per yr for slightly smaller home in TV (2200 sf vs 1900 sf). Dining out and cocktails are much cheaper here too. Dinner and drinks for 2 in our previous city cost us $60 to $150 or more, depending on how casual or fancy the restaurant. Here it is less than half that. Living here has allowed us to retire earlier than we would have been able to up north and we are able to travel more.
