Should I move out of NYC?

I live in NYC, and honestly I'm getting sick and tired of living here. Its way to expensive and getting more expensive. Was thinking about moving out the city. I've checked other cities that I have interest in and its a lot cheaper to live in those cities. I know NYC has many benefits, but its just not worth living here anymore.

Would you be giving up career advancement opportunities by moving? Without a promotion, the salary would be reduced, outside of the NYC metro, for the same job, but you may be in a place that you enjoy more than NYC.

@toddr13 ill def be in a place I enjoy more. I hoping I can stay with my current job and work remotely. I am one of the top designers there and I feel they would want to keep me there. The salary might be reduced, but the standard of living will be better. And rent expenses will be a lot lower.
