Cost of living in Chicago by SebasO

Hi everybody, my name is Sebastian and I am probably moving to Chicago, Illinois soon, I checked out the thread "Cost of living in the US" and could find anything relative to Chicago nor Illinois. Anyone from Chicago ? Thanks in advance.

Marie

Living in Chicago is so expensive ! Especially if you have a car. But if you live in the city and work also in the city you don't really need one. Everything is cheaper than in Europe but for some reasons we buy more so at the end we spend more ! Read More
