I especially liked that moving to Los Angeles is more cost effective and leisurely. I can concur: LA is cheaper than Boston, where I lived for a dozen years.

It's tough when you realize there are things you just cannot do. You may have the skills, but your body will send you other signs to say "keep this up and you're gonna die." For me it was outbound sales: I had a minor breakdown after a team meeting. I don't miss the dot-com era.
