When Every New Jersey Town Feels Like a Gamble
The risks of staying put vs. moving without a plan
Unsustainable NYC Prices
NYC prices are unsustainable for the amount of space people get.
Confusing Town Options
It's hard to know which New Jersey towns actually fit your income, lifestyle, and commute.
Fear of Six-Figure Mistakes
Anxiety about disrupting routines, relationships, and identity if the move feels like "starting over."
Staying in the same NYC rental means paying more every year for space that no longer fits. Jumping into New Jersey without a clear plan risks landing in a town with the wrong commute, schools, or costs and needing to move again. Either way, you burn time, money, and energy on a housing situation that works against the stable, spacious life you're trying to build.
