Can someone tell me stats about living in Chicago, IL? |
Travel Info I would like to know the following: Cost of (per month) -Food -Gas/fuel -Electricity -Telephone -Water -Clothing -Personal care (including haircut, toiletries etc.) INSURANCE -life -health -dental -auto I would really appreiciate it! Thanks in advance. Travel Tips It varies by area for a lot of those things. Food is expensive at most chain places (Jewel, Dominick's) usually. Places like Aldi or local grocery stores are cheaper. So is shopping for clothes. If you want to shop by brand that's a little more expensive but places like Filene's basement and TJ Maxx have decent stuff if you're willing to look. Toiletries and what not are pretty much the same anywhere. There's a lot of Walgreens and CVS stores in most places. Gas and water are usually included if you're living in an apartment. I don't know how much they are if you're buying a house. I don't know how insurance is compared to other cities. Hope some of this helps Others Ridiculously expensive. You should stay where you are. Well, it all depends on many factors: what neighborhood you live in, how many in your family, what type of housing you have, etc. It can vary greatly depending on those factors. For instance, food might depend on how much you eat, whether you like to go out to eat or order in or cook your own food. There are no hard and fast totals. But generally, the city is pretty cheap with regards to cost of living. There are a couple of websites, though, that might help you determine this... http://www.chicagosemester.org/live/cost... http://www.jobsinchicago.com/cost_crime.... http://www.law.uchicago.edu/prospective/... http://realtytimes.com/rtcpages/19990609... http://swz.salary.com/costoflivingwizard... http://cgi.money.cnn.com/tools/costofliv... Between all of these sites, you should be able to figure it out. |
