If you can make it in NJ, you can make it anywhere

There are only two places where the cost of living are higher than in NJ. Those places are Hawaii, New York City and San Francisco, Ca. That being said, we live in a very high cost of living here in NJ, but we enjoy many things that others do not. We have low crime, great schools, quality of life, beaches, cities, casinos and many more things that make New Jersey great. To raise a family in this great state, a family has to make a good income, but we are all under the gun that way in this country. The middle class is shrinking fast, and the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. There's not much more to it than that. Sad as it is, my family and I are trying to make it as a middle class family, and so far, we have had some success in that regard.
