I recently got a fully remote job at a compnay in the bay area. I am no longer tied to any particular location which gives me a lot of freedom. I’m considering moving to NYC, mainly in hopes to build better connections and maybe meet my future wife there.
The alternative is to stay in a cheaper area on the east coast with a lower cost of living. Thoughts?

This is for early 20s tho. I'd assume for mid/late 20s it wouldn't matter as much.
Aside from dating, I'd still suggest NYC for a year and see how you like it. NJ is still HCoL. I'd see it as a big waste for someone to live in NJ just to save a few bucks as you're missing a large part of NYC, which is actually living in it. As other people have said, you can try it out for a year (most people live in nyc for a couple of years then move out anyways).
