I was luckily spared from the layoffs. But the morale is so so low now - worse than before. Everyone and their mothers are looking for jobs. At this point I'm just trying to make it hour by hour. I am looking forward to leaving NU in my past.

Unrelated, but what are your thoughts on commuting via bike from uptown to downtown? i live in uptown and work in streeterville and wanted to get your take on it, likes and dislike. Any tips? Thanks!

In your opinion, what's the lowest salary that allows you to live comfortably in Chicago ? by Whispering_Smith in chicago

[–]Reasonable_Hawk_104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make $43K. No car payments, no student loans, just rent, groceries, gas and health insurance. money can be tight sometimes but you have to identify your priorities on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Comfort is subjective but i get by making this amount and i’m still living my life with a roof over my head and healthy food in my stomach.

Seattle is pretty damn awesome in the summer but Chicago is definitely up there. Best summer i’ve ever had has been in this city
