Based on what you've said, you now have quite a few options---as mentioned by several other posters.
If' I were you, assuming you own property in PRNJ (which is some "high priced" stuff.) and have a bunch of extra cash, there's lots of places you could relocate to. On first glance they may not seem such a deal, as you're not gonna make the same kinda money you may make in NJ. But by choosing somehat carefully you can get something nice in several areas of the country.
5 years ago, I bought a place on the "fringe" of a metropolitan area. 10 acres of land, a barn and a large house (all my neighbors have similar properties, so no crowding). Isolated, to some extent, but right down the road from a large mall, the expressway, etc. Since then they've built alot of relatively expensive houses in the area, just south of me. I paid 138,000, just had it appraised for $210,000. Hard to lose money on real estate, if its in the right area.
