New Jersey now officially ranks as the best state in America to live in, according to WalletHub's annual list released Tuesday.

The Garden State just edged out Massachusetts for top honors, with New York coming in third. In 2019, New Jersey was fourth on the WalletHub list.

That's nuts.

Isn't New Jersey where all the people who are too obnoxious to live in Massachusetts go?

Don't get me wrong, I like it here, but it isn't cheap. If I didn't work here, we'd move the instant the kids finished school.

And we certainly wouldn't move to New Jersey

NY, NJ, MA are the top 3. All 3 are bottom 5 in affordability.

So the top places are the least affordable.

I guess that keeps the riff-raff out.

The Jersey shore in the summer is a way of life for those who live in NJ to the extent that it approaches a religious cult.

And it’s passed down the generations. You have to witness it to understand it.
