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

    Honestly? Not a deal breaker, I love pissing off maga hats, and working in customer service for years? Telling entitled folk to suck it is my life blood.

    Besides, my vote is still my vote, no one can take that away

      Nice. Then I would highly rec Vigo County, IN. Col is very low, esp rent. Fiber available in a surprisingly large footprint and not just on major streets for biz.

      Will DM a couple WFH pos that I know exist or will fairly soon. Lots of hiring on interesting/unique factors candidate brings to table, very little hiring based on degrees/years experience, at that level.

      Was first time I ever felt like someone was actively listening to my interview answers and paying attn and I’ve been working 25 years.
