Your cost of living is really influenced by how you want to live. In addition to what has be already discussed, simple things like how large your home is and how cool you set your A/C will significantly impact your utilities costs. Having your own pool or hot tub will increase your utilities and you will have added maintanence costs. Small yards cost less to water than larger yards. Most folks hire a lawn service to mow, edge, weed and trim the shrubs. Doing those things yourself will save you a few bucks too.
