Time for a middle class exodus (apartment, mortgage, appliances)

[KellyKdros]

With Christie in power it is clear that NJ will become more of a state for the rich only and I think we will see the middle class mostly gone by the end of his term. As it is the middle class has been slipping out of NJ since Whitman made life hard on us, now Christie will nail the final nails in the coffin.

I hear that North Carolina has a lot of jobs and I found an apartment for $600 a month with 24-hour fitness center, pool, in a protected and gated complex and it's new with modern appliances. Sure beats my upstairs crappy studio with street parking for $1000 a month.

Yes and try and find salary for more then $10 per hour unless you are a professional..It's all relative
Unless you are able to retire, have a home with no mortgage and a retirement income it's all relative

People should move if they can get a better quality of life in other places. It's only rational. Good luck if you do move.

I said unless you are a professional to me IT would qualify as a professional job
She isn't getting that if she's a secretary or an Ad Min

Ahhhh, finally... a person of reason in this sea of insanity! If you aren't able to enjoy the standard of living you believe you're entitled to here in NJ, please feel free to seek residence else where... hell... this is a free country, you can even leave the US if you feel the need!

I'm not saying she should. She said NC has many jobs & apts at $600, I said try and find a salary for more then $10 p.h. unless you are a professional....cheaper rents, homes, taxes equate to cheaper salaries.

I'm just sick of the mantra of how cheap the south is..unless you are retired with no mortgage it's all relative
