Isn't it true that areas where the salaries are generally higher, real estate, education, food etc. tends to cost more? And the other way around...If so, then you probably end up with more or less the same when you look at the bottom line.. However...talking about money....it seems that you get more for your money in NC (and even NJ) when it comes to real estate (in terms of space, how well-kept houses are etc.) Career-wise I'm leaning towards MA or NJ. But NJ is probably too cold and the living costs in MA seems quite high. NC has nice weather, but the job market does not seem to be as good as in MA or NJ... And finally..just guessing...people are probably more friendly in NC ?

North Carolina, New Jersey or Massachusetts ? In the current job market you might find that you don't choose the state, it chooses you.

Ok so let's just say - for arguments sake - that you get job offers from companies in NJ, MA and NC. The jobs are 100% identical in every way imaginable. You are married and you have kids (age<5). Which state would you choose? And why?

For me, the comfort comes from knowing that the state forces others' cars to be inspected, just as it forces them either to have insurance or post a bond.
