No matter who you are talking to, if they are from out of state and they're talking about the price of anything, any New Jersey resident has to stop the conversation to explain the difference between our state and every other state in the nation.

It turns out, the data proves that not only is New Jersey not the most expensive state to live in the nation, but we are not even in the top 5.

And if you think that is shocking, you'd better sit down for this next one. The Garden State is not even in the top 10. We rank as the 15th most expensive state to live in, based on cost of living, taxes, wages, and other factors.
