find a company hiring for those positions today. Also that list is from 2007 ... you must really be disconnected from what is going on in the world which is probably why you have so much time to post all day.

I don't think those making $300K + per year would feel it that much...

Unless the 300k earners are the ones opening businesses and creating jobs for the poor and middle class. Typical Liberal.


5 buddies from work go out drinking each night after work. The each drink $20 worth of beer. They agree to split up the $100 bar tab based on their ability to pay. The 2 poorest 2 pay nothing, the middle guy pays $10, the next guy pays $30 and the top guy pays $50.

The arrangement works well, until one day the bottom 3 guys decide it’s not fair that everyone else in the bar is drinking the good stuff, so they start ordering the premium stuff too. They blow their budget and spend too much. When the tab comes, they gang up on the rich guy, “he is rich, make him pay his fair share”! It’s 3 against 1, so the top guy is stuck with the tab.

The bottom 3 think they have a great deal going, but when they show up to the bar the next day, they find that the rich guy isn’t there. He’s found a new bar and now they are left with nothing

You can get a nice house for a reasonable price in these towns. Alot of people want to move to the Carolinas, TN, OK and buy a large house for less, to make believe they are living like the upper middle class when they are the lower middle class. In the mean time, how is the access to history, culture and a more advanced civilization in general. NJ's population has generally slowed significantly, immigrants are what is causing all this COL hoopla. They crowd and they don't complain, which is just what our corrupt, inept and tax loving government is just fine with. Our immigrants ,esp. the non-European ones make the best sheeple for our psuedo-liberal nutbags who run this joint.

What are you considering a reasonable price?? We looked at houses in Bloomingdale and Butler and for a 3 bedroom are all over $400,000 unless you want something the former owner never took care of and it would cost a fortune to make it liveable again. My DH and I both make decent salarys and the houses in North Jersey are mostly unaffordable to us.

Don't bother,either the dudes a politician or a state worker that wants to sucker you in so you keep paying outrageous taxes to cover their pension and salaries. The ponzi scam is up and people are leaving in numbers comparable to Michigan.

if NYC is indeed in a "panick" as you believe, a sure way for those companies to save money is to set up shop across the river in NJ...

We all know you are a real estate agent trying to pawn off your backlog of overpriced homes that nobody wants, give it a break.

my friends from college are more responsible, have better jobs and dont buy the hottest stuff. different culture, my brooklyn friends were nice enough people but not like me.

They will probably manage as best they can but I don't want my kids living paycheck to paycheck and always thinking about how to pay the mortgage. Much how we do. It really can make a persons quality of live poor and consume you. I am afraid that the next generation may not put up with this and move away to easier cost of living. Which means my four kids may be splattered all over the US. That would devastate me.

Would you think its better to move to an area where my children may have a better chance at a decent cost of living expense, lower housing prices and hopefully a decent job market? Has anyone done this because of just these factors? I know college or girl/boyfriend may lead any child to a new location in the long run but I hope to keep at least 2 of the 4 close to home, if not all.

My kids are young enough to move them and start a new life. They would make friends at this young age quickly. But my time is running out. Probably 2 more years and the oldest would think I was ruining his life!

I think my kids will be able to live in NJ when their on their own. We plan on giving our kids the best scholastic education we can. We plan on giving them an allowance to give them some basic financial knowlage and then continue make sure their financiaially literate. I also want to make sure they learn a trade to fall back on. I also want to teach them to be able to make repairs on their cars so everytime the light comes they don't have to take it to have it serviced.

I also think the scouts are a good organization that has got a bad rep they don't deserve. Friends of ours kid just made it to eagle scout and he learnd and grew through having that experiance.

But of course predicting what happens twenty years for now is a guess. In the end Familymom lets hope our kids are happy and healthy.

P.S. I'm sure your kids will be just fine!
