How do you live in New Jersey when apartment rent is sky high?

Apartments are in the low 700s at the least if you want an area where you don't have to worry 'as much' about getting your car stolen or being mugged. I figured out the calculations and you need to make at least in the mid to high 30s in order to make the rent payments as well as other living costs....and you will hardly save any money at this rate............I think this is ridiculous....any suggestions?

1. Sounds like you are getting a bargain to me. Try moving to Los Angeles I pay 1300 a month.
2. Move farther south and commute the cost of commute is getting higher with gas prices and the more New Yorkers moving in thinking the prices they are willing to pay is cheap keeps driving up the cost so most people born and raised here are moving to the border areas of PA, or southern parts of the state where the prices are a bit better but not by much. It is not just rents it is owning property as well, a two bedroom home on 90 by 40 lot vs a 4 bedroom home on 3 acres depending on location can pay the same taxes, or the smaller home and property pays more. Or don't eat, or use any utilities.
