The cost of living is much the same as the rest of the south, mid-south, midwest, and texas. Taxes and such are surprisingly higher than you'd think.
Food, cars, insurance, vacations, ect. , all cost the same.
Housing is reasonable, but you can do better for the money in Pa, Oh, Tn, Ky, Sc, Nc, Al, and Tx from what I've seen in Ga.
