3.75%... for now. Even if it was 5%, which it may go back to, that's pretty inexpensive for state income tax (most of our hub states have higher state income tax rates, obviously excluding TX).

A lot of great advice on here, thank you!
For those of you who moved to Illinois, how many of you would leave if you had the chance? I've been looking at Houston and thinking that it would be a better move financially. I'm not sure that I want to give Illinois 5% in income tax for the privilege of living here...

Not to jack the OP's thread too much, but it already sorta went there. Long time lurker but wanted to ask the same about living in WI and being based out of ORD. Wife and I are both from Milwaukee area and being back by family is a serious consideration as we start having kiddos and I'm out of the Navy.
Looking specifically at Wauwatosa and making the drive down I-94. Is that reasonable? Where else in SE WI are people living and making the drive into ORD?

I live in the village in Tosa and drive regularly to ORD. The drive is easy....usually 1:15 and at most 1:25 unless it's bad winter wx.

Six figure income? Illinois wants you - uh, I mean needs you.

It was 5% for a short time, state legislature put a sunset on the increase which expired.

I've never been impressed with the Houston area. Bizarre or even non-existent urban planning, nice areas next to completely blighted areas and an economy built primarily around the energy sector - which is headed downward. I'm sure you know some places are inexpensive for a reason.
