Chicago consulting ppl - how much do you pay for the rent ?
Sometimes I feel its not worth to pay the high rents when you are going to stay for only 10-12 days in a month because of travel.

Chicago is definitely NOT expensive by any standard

I live in River North and pay $2300 and am on the River in a high rise. Obviously you pay a premium for that. I also have a doorman and security which was an important feature when I was apartment shopping since I’m never home and I don’t need a break in and such

Thinking about moving myself actually. Tax free state with low cost of living. When I actually sit down and compare my finances to what I do in the city 6 months out of the year — it doesn’t make sense for me to spend the month either when I could be saving // investing it into my 401K

$2600 for 800sq ft high-rise downtown - I moved from NYC and thought that was cheap. Turns out I’m getting swindled. Too lazy to move though, and I’ll probably buy next year.
