New Jersey Has The Highest Median Household Income In The USA

It may seem like all you hear anymore is that times are tough, and money just doesn't go as far as it used to.

And don't get me wrong, to an extent that's true.

For example, $100 worth of groceries will last my wife and me four days when just a few short years ago that same amount would keep us stocked up for a week.

Same thing if you look at the cost of rent, cars, and houses.

The prices have all skyrocketed.

I like to think though, that things are all relative, for example when my wife and I lived in Central PA, we were able to rent a two-bedroom house for under $1,000 a month.
