Live in Chicago area and have the opportunity to get out and head to a better domicile, but the wife wants to stay, buy an expensive house and doesn’t care about finances. I need a short notice consult with an advisor to give a third party point of view to bring her down to earth. After calculating differences in property and income taxes in IL, I’m looking at wasting over $16,000 ADDITIONAL money over and above an average states taxes per year. With close to 25 years to go, that’s $400,000 gone when I retire - with nothing to show for it.

If anyone has recommendations and contact info, please feel free to send a PM.

Regards
