But, we all know getting married in New Jersey isn't cheap.

Living in New Jersey isn't cheap either!

That's why I'm not very surprised that the average age for men and women to get married in New Jersey is older than in some other states.

People are simply waiting to tie the knot, focusing more on their education and trying to get a good-paying job, rather than racing down the aisle.

They're also living at home longer because moving out independently and paying for rent or a mortgage in New Jersey is SO expensive. Living with mom and dad definitely saves you money.

Also, many are staying on mom or dad's insurance for longer.
