How Much is $100 Worth in New Jersey?

How far does a dollar go in the Garden State? Not surprisingly, not as far as we'd like it to.

According to TaxFoundation.org, $100 is worth $87.34 in NJ. The website published a national map showing how much one-hundred dollars is worth in every state when you take into consideration the cost-of-living.

The highest value is in Mississippi where $100 goes for $115.  Washington D.C. had the lowest ratio at $85.00.

Nothing against Mississippi, but I'll take the loss to live right where I am. Do you feel the same?
