We find ourselves spending more time in Florida than we do in Jersey. Thinking of selling our home in Jersey and maybe just maintaining a condo or small town home there and maybe going a little bigger in Florida. If it wasn't for family still in NJ, we'd be gone.

Lived in NJ for 58 years, Bergen and Warren Counties (28 years), retired in 2015 and moved to the Philadelphia area to be closer to our daughters. We spend the winters in Scottsdale, AZ. Moving from a rural area to a university town is amazing so much to do when you live in a walkable town. Many restaurants, shops, festivals not to mention the many free concerts at the university. We sometimes do not use the car for a week. King of Prussia mall (largest on the east coast) 20 minutes away, DE the place with no sales taxes is 20 minuets away. We downsized from 2 acres and 3500 sq ft house to a 70'x 140' lot with 1400 sq ft. Taxes went from $12K to $3K, no state taxes on our pensions, 401k, etc. Soooo glad we moved from NJ only thing we miss is good pizza and bagels.

I actually want to move back into the state part time, when I retire.

If things work out like I hope I want to move to the Jersey shore during the warm weather and fly south during the cold.

I don't like winter anymore.
Moved out of New Jersey by moving to South Jersey.

Completely diff way of life and thinking.

BTW....Millions fleeing NJ? I think not.

Yes, it is. It's the other New Jersey. It's the part that I love the most.

Possibly. I’m just not quite sure how Trumps new tax plan will effect my dry cleaning business.
