If you plan to stay in Sussex County when you retire Smart Asset has good news for you. The website's Social Security calculator says Sussex County ranks 6th among New Jersey Counties for stretching retirement benefits. To find the places where Social Security benefits went furthest Smart Asset looked at taxes and average Social Security benefits in each county. Then calculated how far after tax income would stretch based on the living expenses in each county.
There are 21 counties in New Jersey so Sussex County's rank of 6th is pretty good. Cape May, Hunterdon Counties and Morris Counties were the top 3 New Jersey counties for stretching Social Security benefits.
