Everyone says, “If you’re retiring, just move to Pennsylvania.”But heading into 2026, that advice deserves a second look.
Between New Jersey’s Stay NJ property tax relief, differences in retirement income taxes, and a major gap in inheritance taxes, the math is no longer as one-sided as it used to be—especially for families in Central New Jersey and the Princeton area.
In this video, I walk through:• Retirement income taxes• Property taxes + Stay NJ (2026)• Inheritance taxes most people ignore• Who NJ makes sense for—and who PA still fits better
This isn’t about headlines or hype.It’s about running the numbers before you lock in a 15–20 year decision.
