Hey There,
I m Anurag, I m moving to NJ from india, So wanted to know few things abt the place...
I have seen post abt Cost of living and all....
Oaky here are my details..
i m gonna earn 5K per month...
I m single not much on saving side... I want to enjoy life till i m not in any relation.. hopefully atleat for 2 years more.
I checked few website abt renting a flat.. and hey showed few nice ones of around 800$.. but not sure if they are for sharing or just single apartments...
First thing wat is Studio ? I saw few studioa available.. cannot make out wat type of flat it can be
Wat are areas there, full off pubs and clubs??? I m kind a party animal.. will prefer to live near such area.. so that i dont have to spend alot on travelling to these clubs...
How are people there ? Are they friendly....
I stayed few years in South Africa.. It has great night life and people are to frierndly.. Dont know abt NJ, It will be nice to get feedback from you.
Hmmm oh ya and abt drving license , Do i need to get one is NJ , or indian one will do, As i was drinving in SA, bit my indian license was valid there.
Hope to get lots of replies....
Cheers

Hmm i m not sure where i'll be working, My company is at South Plainfield, NJ. But my locationw ill depend on my clinets location. That i'll come to know only when i join there.
Okay so how will be studio for a single guy, Soundmuch like a 1 Bedroom flat, Just there isno seperate bed room.
And do all complex have GYM ?
If they dont , who much we need to pay for GYM per month.
I saw one rental ads, In that they said, they got GYM and Pool, that looked nice to me.
I guess paying bit extra bugs wont hurt if i can get atleast GYM in complex
hmm so how long does it takes to get driver's license there, i hope it doen't takes long.
In SA it takes forever.. Thats why i was using indian license with a letter from Embassy saying it is valid to drive in indian license for one year, i guess it's not same case with NJ.
And hey how abt the people, are they friendly.
hmmm i guess thast all i want to know. Will bug u all again here.
If you're looking for a complex with a Gym, you should ask for the opening hours. I used to live in a complex with a very nice Gym. Unfortunately, it had very limited hours you could go to. So, I was not able to use it and had to join a Gym additional.
Parsippany has a very large Indian population and a lot of apartment complexes in different price ranges. It is also located very conveniently next to a lot of major highways to get anywhere you want.
Thx veuvegirl, mag4108, tandcookies and JerseyJames
Thanks to you all for replying.. i must say people are very active in this forum, i been to other forums.. and nobody takes pain to reply, Though i keep on posting replis to people...
Okay in thats case i gess u must go for comples without gym and then i can go for some gym.. i guess that will give me more flexibility with time and i dont think it will hurt financially mush.. as having apatrment in complex without gym is bit cheaper.. at least that wat i saw in websites
I have bit idea abt insurance and all... i guess it is same as it was in South Africa... Bu there insurance was done my emploers.. and here i have to do all.. But i'll get time to do research abt it.. asi m not looking to buy anything as soon as i reach there...
Instead i'll take around a month ...
lol!!!! Good info James Now i m gonna stay away from Parsippany hahahhahaaha.....
But i guess you said i can get apartment in less rent and it is well connected.. i guess i can consider that
Hey do we save Income tax by doing investmenst there ? Atleast in india if you buy some House or insurance or invest money Mutual funds.. you get tax relief for certain amount.. is it same there in NJ ?
I'll keep bugging u people with more and more questions
Cheers

south plainfield is too far from parsippany. edison would be a better choice. about 17% indian population.
