Nebraska housing is actually a bad deal given the wages. It's cheap by national standards, but my wages doubled moving from CBIA to Chicago. Rent in Chicago is of course much higher, but adjusted for income, my place is way nicer and actually a similar portion of my income
- kstrauser 4mo agoPreach it, neighbor. And nothing whatsoever against NE or IA. Those are nice places to live with a lot to commend for them. Still the low cost of living is kind of misleading unless you’re on a fixed income such that moving elsewhere would raise expenses without raising pay.
- queenkjuul 4mo agoYeah i mean, i get why my friends with kids didn't leave, but at the same time, i would so much rather raise my kids in Chicago. Some of them i think are starting to realize the same, as they come out to visit. Des Moines and Omaha are pretty good, though. I'm especially partial to Omaha. However I personally still wouldn't live there by choice, either one. But i know people that are happy in both all the same.
