Land of Lincoln...the prairie state...corn, soybeans, and pumpkins. Chicago-inclusive, but there's a lot more to Illinois than just the Windy City.

Be respectful and civil. No racism/bigotry/hateful speech.

does anyone know any states that are cheaper to live in? we can't handle Illinois pricing any more (self.illinois)

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

A law abolishing cash bail will take effect in Illinois on Sept. 18. The change makes Illinois the first state to eliminate the practice and a nationally watched testing ground for whether such a change can work.
