People that look like this are the only ones that would enjoy a crappy place like Ocala, FL, lol

ROFLMAO... I never knew where he lived . I use to go to Ft. Dix all the time when my ex worked there. There wasn't anything out there. Its now clear to me why Ocala would be so appealing to him.

I live in the Mount Holly area......not sure where you got the notion I lived near Fort Dix.......guess it was the same place you get most of the other misinformation you post on here.

Mount Holly is in the middle of nowhere. No wonder you are obsessed with talking about Walmart, thats probably the only store in your town.

Actually its a very historic town......steeped in history much deeper than Collingswood.......perhaps you should look on a may before you claim it to be in the middle of nowhere......just because your not within gunshot of Camden doesn't qualify a town as in the middle of nowhere....unless bordering Mount Laurel is in the middle of no where ???

My brother lives in Burlington County, so yes I know your area. Its the middle of nowhere. Then again to me anything more than 15-20 miles away from a major city is the middle of nowhere.

Oh, please -- there's no perfect place anywhere. There's no perfect job, either. If you think paradise really exists, I've got a swamp on Tatooine I'd like to sell you.

Um...we're moving to Ocala within the next year, and we're definitely not moving into a trailer park -- or to a manufactured home, either.

NJ is also expensive because of the way the schools are funded (property taxes, with some state and federal aid), which is set by the state constitution. It's also expensive because the state and the feds mandate specific programs for the schools, without giving funding for said programs.

You pump your own gas everywhere except for parts of NYC and either Washington or Oregon. In NJ, it's illegal to pump your own gas.

The insurance rates here are thru the roof. My car insurance is more expensive then it was in NJ due to all the uninsured motorists.

Florida must be one of the few states with rates that are higher than NJ -- because we all know how bad the rates are here.

My home owners insurance is triple from what I paid in NJ. When I compared my taxes and home owner association dues here in Florida to what I paid in NJ it was the same if not cheaper in NJ. Hard to believe but its true. I will agree Florida has great beaches but once you've lived here it gets old quick. NJ has a much better education system. As the saying goes you get what you pay for.

I'll wave to you when we leave for Ocala next year (or possibly this year). And before you start in on the negatives, my husband is retired, my last day at work (after nearly 32 years) is June 30, we have no kids (and at our ages, never will). We want an area with warm weather for health reasons, where we can have a lot more house and property than we have now -- for a lot less. We currently pay $8200 in taxes on a 50 x 100 piece of property with a 4-1/2 room single-family dwelling. Sure, we have easy access to NYC, but unless I'm going to a Yankee game, I hardly ever go there.

Speak for yourself. Obviously a lot of people disagree with you, or the area would be a ghost town.
