Do you like NY, NJ or CT?

I do, any towns that you would recommend?

I moved to Bergen county, NJ and love it- expensive but not nearly as bad as NYC/Hoboken. Looking to be closer to the city, look in jersey city, more affordable than Hoboken

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
