Illinois was my home for 40 years. My family has 150+ year roots in the state. The very idea of leaving wasn’t even an approachable topic a few years ago.
My 50-ish neighbors live in a brick and stone 4000 sq ft house that was built in 2017. It’s worth about $450k. Their kids are 19 and 17 and they’re set to very comfortably retire in less than 10 years.
They belong to the local country club—and in their ample free time—golf, play tennis, and lounge by the pool.
He’s a car theft cop and she’s an elementary school teacher. People with those jobs can’t live like that in Illinois.
The taxes are a fraction of what they are in Illinois, yet the schools, roads, infrastructure, healthcare and employment opportunities are great.
People just seem to be happier and more friendly and outgoing here. No one is more surprised than I am at how little I miss Illinois.
