Maybe if North Jersey wasn't so expensive, people could afford to live there.

There are many nice houses in that price range in Swedesboro or Mullica Hill. I'll send you a PM.

It might say pro-rated if it is not a full year position or starts after their initial start date.

If you do decide to move to NJ and take the position, and need help navigating places to live, please feel free to reach out and send me a PM.

It's never going to happen. When I worked in Paramus, having Sundays off was great, so I am biased in that regard. However, this has been tried many times and the people of Paramus overwhelmingly vote no each time.

Really depends upon the town. Towns near NYC will most likely not due to the influx of people fleeing NY to live here.

Which area of the state are you interested in?

Quite a bit. Not only is a 3-4 bedroom house very expensive to rent, but public transportation/tolls to NYC are also expensive.

I hear you. Wish I could move back up there. Maybe one day.

Good luck! I moved away from there because of traffic and it was just getting way too expensive. A tiny cape cod I used to live in Fair Lawn sold for close to $600k at the end of last year. House was a dump in my opinion...so sad. Had so many issues. I have relatives who paid 75k for a cape there in the 80's. It's ridiculous!

Not particularly South Bergen, but New Jersey Eye Center in Bergenfield might be able to help you.

Which part of Jersey?

Someone win money.

Between $150-$300 ($300 for coldest month) for winter months, and $30-$50 all other months for a 1700sq ft home. Gas stove, dryer, and heat.

I'll send you a PM.

I mean if you meant anywhere in NJ, I know of some affordable rentals in SJ. If not, you may want to check the sub for a state you want to move to.

Yes, the market is rough depending upon the towns you are looking in. If it's your first time buying, be sure to look into the first time home buyer's grant! Can save you on closing costs.

I'm sorry to hear that. My wife is a special education teacher and so I understand the importance of finding programs that meet the needs of your child. I'll send you a PM. Sorry - I don't use Reddit that often and didn't see this message until today!

I believe so, but you would have to read up a little on that. We don't really buy frozen fruits so not entirely sure.

Yes, we do buy fresh produce - but only when it's on sale. There are sales each week and they are cyclical. We also buy frozen steamed veggies which still have nutrients in them. If you notice the cycle of sales, you can stock up on certain staples that do not go bad like pasta and canned goods. For example, ShopRite's can can sale is going on so now is the time to get canned beans, veggies, and soups especially since they do not go bad for a long time.

As a married couple, we go every other week and pay between $60-$100 each time. The trick is to buy things on sale and then take the time to eat what you have before you buy more of it. As for personal cleansing items and paper products, we get them at CVS for free by rolling coupons and extra care bucks.

My wife is a SPED teacher in a SJ district. Are you looking to send your child somewhere, find a job as a teacher in a different district, or looking to move?

Which town is this in?

Relocated to a cheaper area of the state. I'm from Bergen County...still annoyed I had to do so, but there was no way in hell I was ever going to pay half a million for a rehab job.

Sure. I only used to live in Fair Lawn and frequent this establishment, but ok.

They are great, but lots of variables as we have 500+ districts here. Students play a role in their learning as well. I know that back in the day, I definitely hindered my ability as a teen. Which districts do you want to know more about?

I can help you find something but I would need to know 1.5 hours from where exactly.
