Living in New York?

Orlando, Florida isnt the same but its not far from what you're looking for as far as NY. I live here and its very fast paced too, not so much walking distance, but there are buses taxis and obviously your own car. I've been at both and you cant compare either, two different life styles.

I can affirm the difference in lifesyles is day and night. One of my sisters lived in Union City, NJ and a sister-in-law in Orlando, plus I attended a few classes in East Hanover, NJ and lived in Pensacola and Hollywood, FL. You can adjust your lifesytle to each - just depends on what you prefer. I liked both and you should be fine.

Florida is also an option, I have family living there, but all I hear is about that state is that it's for old people. My second choice is California, but I don't think that'll be much cheaper than NY.

A lot of people retire to Florida because it is warm year round, but it is by no means just old people.

As for California, it depends on where you are. If you are in Los Angeles or any of the other major cities things will be expensive. Pretty much any major city and its metropolitan area will be expensive. New York City and LA are probably going to be the most expensive out of any of them.
