Teaching your kid how to drive the first time is among the scariest things you can do. Think about it. You agree to ride in the passenger seat and be driven around by someone who has no idea what they’re doing and who has never driven a car before. Yet it’s even scarier when they’ve earned their license and you’re sitting at home, not in that passenger seat, not having any clue where they are or what they’re up to. Add the possibility of underage drinking behind the wheel, and it becomes terrifying.

A lifetime ago when there was a mayor of New York City by the name of Ed Koch he used to always ask voters he met, “How am I doing?”If you’re Donald Trump in your second term, you probably don’t want to ask.

Oh, how the other half live. Forget the other half. What about how the other 10% live? We all know New Jersey is expensive. Even when you're making what on paper sounds like good money, you might feel like you can never get ahead. Property taxes are the highest in the country. Housing is impossible. If you could bring your same income but earn it while magically living in Kentucky or West Virginia, you’d likely be living like royalty. So, how much would you need to make to be among New Jersey’s top 10%?
