Charleston is fairly affordable, except when it comes to real estate. Rent is fucking high. If you want a nice 1 bedroom downtown you are looking at a grand a month. You might be able to find something cheaper in Mt Pleasant.
Las Vegas is pretty cheap. If you like to gamble you can get most of your meals comped. When I lived in Vegas I played poker everyday at the Venetian while eating free smoked salmon. There isn't any state income tax in Texas, either.
Columbia, SC isn't bad. A big SEC college right at your back door is always nice. You can go out in five points a few times a week and not even come close to breaking the bank.
Florida and Texas don't have state income taxes either.
Atlanta is cheap and you have a lot of colleges around there.
Cities I would consider if I were in your shoes:
New Orleans
Las Vegas
Tampa
Charleston
Columbia
Austin
Shit, just go check them all out over the course of 6 months and make your mind up.
Errr I meant Nevada, obviously.
You want to know the only thing you can assume about a broken down old man? It's that he's a survivor.
