Retirement Tax Treatment
New Jersey levies a state income tax, but Social Security benefits are exempt, a meaningful break for retirees drawing on those payments.

Fact text
- Brigantine's name comes from the many shipwrecks that once littered its shores, including wrecked brigantine sailing ships.
- The city's lighthouse was built in 1926 to attract new residents, but it was too far from shore and too low to actually function as a real lighthouse.
- That same fake lighthouse has since served as a police headquarters, a museum, AND a gift shop, quite the career change.
- Brigantine is a barrier island with exactly ONE road in and ONE bridge out, earning it the fitting nickname 'The Island.'
- The Marine Mammal Stranding Center has rescued over 3,900 whales, dolphins, seals, and sea turtles since opening in 1978.
