How Fun Is New Jersey? This Is How We Ranked On A Nationwide List

We all have Jersey pride, especially if you are born and raised here. When you think about growing up Jersey, there are a lot of adjectives that come to mind but would you say that it was fun?

A national website just did a survey to determine the most fun states to live in and I was personally pretty annoyed at where New Jersey was ranked. What states are more fun than us?

With pure enjoyment in mind, WalletHub looked very closely at what each state has to offer and compared the 50 states to one another using 26 key factors. They took into account cost and accessibility things like national parks to casinos.

I grew up in Jersey and I had an absolute blast. I still do! Wallet Hub has us on the cost though. It really does take the flavor out of something to break the bank to do it, but listen, California isn’t cheap either! I don't think anyone is going to argue with Hawaii, but come on, you mean to tell me Oklahoma is more fun than being at the Jersey Shore?

In any event, Jersey came in at number 31 out of our 50 states.
