Escape Ilinois
Scott Tucker
Escape Illinois aims at helping Illinois residents decide whether relocating from the state is a beneficial move for their financial and personal well-being. Published in 2023, the book digs deep into the pros and cons of leaving Illinois, armed with insights on tax implications, cost of living differences, and other critical financial considerations. Tucker, leveraging his expertise in financial planning and advisory, takes readers through a series of chapters that dissect the financial landscapes of other states compared to Illinois, focusing on often overlooked aspects like retirement account taxation, property taxes, and the overall cost of living.
One of the book’s central themes is the meticulous comparison between Illinois and other states with no income tax or lower property taxes. Tucker cautions readers against making hasty decisions predicated on surface-level benefits, as moving without a thorough understanding of another state's complete tax landscape could lead to unforeseen financial strain. He illustrates this by pointing out that states without income tax, like Texas, may impose higher property taxes which can offset the initial perceived financial advantages. Tucker supports his guide with real examples and hypothetical scenarios that shed light on potential tax liabilities with retirement accounts, pensions, and Social Security benefits across different states
