Moving from SW Florida to Cary

My family and I have thought about moving out of Florida and going up to Cary, North Carolina. Before we make a decision I have several questions about the area. If anyone reading this post can answer I will be very grateful. We moved down here to SW Florida almost 3 years ago. It has been a HUGE mistake.
Cost of living is skyrocketing and the salaries that companies are offering are in the $22,000 to $25,000 range. Plus add hurricanes, hot and humid weather that lasts for months at a time, bugs, outrageous fees for homeowners insurance and taxes etc... We are looking for an area that offers us good paying jobs. I am a real estate paralegal and my boyfriend was in IT for 25 years and he has owned his own painting business. Housing that the average person can afford and a safe place to live. I have done alot of research in the past few months and Cary continues to come out on top of any poll in the best places to live catagory. But you can't believe everything that you read. Hope to hear from some Cary residents that can tell me the good and the bad about living in North Carolina. Thank you.
