Cost of living in Chicago

Hello,

I live in Chicago and life is ok, depends where you live of course (pretty expensive downtown) but really nice and cheap paces all over the city as well.
When are you moving?

Hey,
You can find rents starting from 550 and up for studios in a safe neighborhood. As for the one bedroom apartments - from 650 and up. If you want nice and furnished one, prepare to pay more bucks. Stay away from Southside of Chicago, you wouldn't like living there.

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 !
