Yeah, New Jersey isn't THAT BAD. It's expensive, especially if you're a younger person just getting started. If you're buying your first car, first house or first "anything," it's hard without some help from family.
Why did I move from Newark to Toms River? Well, they had better snow cones down in Central & South Jersey back then.

And nothing beat a good grape snow cone in the summertime.
Otherwise, I would probably be typing this from Newark as we speak
