Reply to comment by [deleted] in These NJ counties saw the largest population drop as residents migrate to other areas by madrid987

People with more money, and also willing to go into more debt (I’ve heard about some insane mortgages - you’re not supposed to buy as high as possible!), or who have families with money willing to buy them a house. My husband and I talk about this a lot - why do people have bigger houses and nicer cars than we do? But the answer is, they’re more comfortable with debt than we are.
