I’ve lived here for years and years and I’m sure you’ve all seen rent and food prices going up, now sure, that’s a country wide thing but Illinois has one of the highest tax rates in the country. Me and my girlfriend are just trying to get our lives together and even while working a stable, okay paying job were struggling a lot. Does anyone who has been in a similar situation know if there’s a state not too far away that would be better for us? My girlfriend is trying to get into the theater management business so closer to an urban area is better but I have no such restrictions.
Any help is appreciated
Like I said my girlfriend is in theater Management, so if there isn’t a venue nearby she can work at, we basically lose half our income
The main part is we both want out of this state, rural is an option but not in illinois
Right…
That’s why city’s are expensive, that’s where a lot of jobs are…
Then that’s what you should have said. Michigan/Wisconsin would probably be your best bet that’s close, but without knowing anything about you besides your girlfriend is in theater management and you don’t like taxes…
You’re probably not going to get many recommendations that would be more tailored to you than just googling it yourself.
Asking where is a good place to move isn’t some rare question no one is asking. Hell, there’s multiple annual rankings that gather real world data, and some that even focus on the Midwest.
That would be where you should start.

I literally wrote it in the title my man, and yeah I’m aware of Google. I prefer community opinions and so that’s what I search for, no need to get salty
Gee it’s almost like it was written in the title and you didn’t read it before commenting
