Why do you stay in New Jersey,High Taxes, Taxed Pension,Terrible Gun Laws, Answer is simple for some.

Here's my reason.  My grandson and future hunter.  I have a place on Cape Cod but it's too far to see him on a regular basis.  The only good thing is we will prob have him for summers at the beach.

For me I have a good career but only 8 years to retire hopefully my 3 girls will still be in school which will put a delay on moving but as soon as they are in college I’ll hold my middle finger out the window as I drive away and over the bridge.

I haven’t really thought about where to go but West Virginia or further west maybe Wyoming. I don’t like people so the more secluded the better. My kids will always have the option to live me me and mom if they want

Unfortunately my wife, she won't divorce me.  She hates seeing me happy.  Seriously we have to wait 7 more years until my son finishes school.  I do love where I love in NJ.  It feels more like PA than NJ.

You must be north west !!

Good luck on your move cost of living in FL is a lot less than NJ good fishing, and good hunting on the panhandle. Enjoy buddy.

Wife and I talk about leaving all the time....but its more of a "tongue in cheek chat" usually. We have big families and would really be hard to leave. We do love NJ, i love it even more since getting my hunting license. We bought our first house 2 years ago this june in union county.

I need to find the article but i saw a line in it saying "new jerseyans are unhappy with its high taxes but 70% are happy with its government"  -- this stuff is why we talk about leaving. The property taxes are a joke and it needs to be addressed. Like i said i bought my house almost 2 years ago and our taxes are only 7k/year.....will it be at 15k in 10 years? because that shouldn't happen. I know plenty of you pay more than that but its out of hand and something needs to be done.

Married. She wants to stay close to her mommy since we don't have anyone really to watch our kids.

It seems if just about all of us had a vasectomy sooner than later there would be no hunters left in NJ......!

There are Pro's and Con's to every state. Some too hot. Some too cold. Some too humid. Some too dry.

My wife and I both grew up in central PA.  I would love to live there again.  She works in NYC.  No way in hell I'm living there.  So, Jersey it is.
