New Jersey is a pricey state to live in, with the national average being over 25 points more than the rest of the country. In every area, New Jersey costs more. In most cases, it's only slightly more than the national average, but one area where that's not true is the cost of housing. Expect to pay 37 points more than the average, with the median home cost and rent expensive. However, many find the costs worth it, and with a bit of luck, you could find a good home in New Jersey that's much less than the national average.

Guides for families
Resource library
In 2027, the full retirement age for Social Security finishes its long climb to 67. People born in 1960 are the first group to reach a full retirement age of exactly 67. Here is what that changes, what it does not, and how the age you claim still moves your check by hundreds of dollars a month.
Resource library

Fewer than 1 percent of recipients still get a check in the mail. Here is who is affected, how to switch, and the narrow exceptions that let a few people keep paper.
Resource library
The repeal of WEP and GPO restored Social Security for more than 3 million public-sector retirees, and the agency has paid about $17 billion in back benefits. But those lump sums are taxable, a surprise bill hit this filing season, and a proposal in Congress would change it. Here is where things stand.
Buying guide
