It's called a cost benefit analysis or doing a Ben Franklin. You owe it to yourself to look them up and try to figure it out for yourself because what's important or unimportant to us may be the opposite for you in your circumstance.

Here's my example. I live in illinois and hate it. Shitty politics and property taxes suck. I want to move back to wisconsin for my retirement. Factors to consider: IL doesn't tax retirement income WI does. The cost to sell my house will overshadow property tax saving. My kids and grand kids live in IL and I still want us to be a part of each others lives. It's more beautiful in WI but it's colder in the winter. See what I mean.

You need to make an honest list of the pros and cons of both situations and weigh them against each other. I have found that your pay tends to fit the living expenses of a given area. If they pay you more, it may because it costs more to live there. Score your results and test your feelings. In the end you will have more clarity of thought and less indecision about what to do. Doing this yourself will help you in the long run to be a happier and more content person with what ever choices you make. Sincerest Good Luck.
