I have lived in the midwest my entire life, so I have poo poo experience for comparison. However, people that relocate here from the coasts invariably take note that people are just nicer here. Which always surprises me, because I feel like I am surrounded by assholes. So take that as you may, an rear end in a top hat to a midwesterner is nice to someone from the coast.

You're already saving 95k a year. That's like 75% of your net pay in the Midwest assuming you can find a job making ~160k gross, which is probably optimistic.

That would be the very high end for a tech job in Chicago, which is likely the highest cost of living city in the midwest. In my town (250k metro), I am pretty sure 95% of tech jobs pay under $120k, but even $100k/year is going to get you a pretty nice lifestyle. You could easily support a family of 4 with one parent not working in a 3000 square foot house, with two car payments.
