I'm from Oregon and to me people in NJ are more annoyed and generally upset and angry as a default mood, or maybe everyone is to some degree all over the country but It's more outwardly expressed in NJ than back in Oregon. Cashiers have no problem with showing attitude and straight showing that they hate their job, I mean, I don't blame them but it's not my fault. I am still nice to them.

yup! my thinking exactly. As a single person with no debt you'll want to make 60K to be able to afford acceptable housing and maybe save a little money. A two person household should really be bringing in 100K at least. at 100-120K a year you can start to afford a normal life and start pulling away from poverty slightly.

I would say barely if you have no debt, yeah. but it's barely getting by. I don't live there yet, but im planning on moving there. 60,000 is what you want to make as a single person with no debt, to be able to afford rent, car, and expenses and maybe save a little cash.

65K for two people with no debt is still possible, but I would try to bump that to 75K. Ideally a houshold of two people should bring in over 100K a year. New jersey is a very expensive place to live.
