Really, it depends on where in NJ you are. If you are in the NYC metro area, 103K wouldn't get you very far at all. On the other hand, if you are in rural south Jersey, you can still live quite nicely on 103K.

That's why just looking at income numbers tells you very little about how someone is doing or where they stand relative to others.
