Do both of you work in the city? If not you should absolutely move to an adjacent suburb and save on the wage tax.

Not sure why this is downvoted, but just want to add that you get more in the burbs for your taxes, too, like twice a week trash collection that always comes on time. 9-1-1 calls answered immediately and police dispatched quickly for any small issue. Traffic laws enforced so you don't have people running red lights around you. Just something to consider.

Exactly. We pay less taxes living in a a bigger nicer house in Haverford Township in Delco (with fantastic municipal services) than we would if we still lived in Fishtown, since my partner was able to change office assignments to outside the city and I earn about half my income outside the city. People on this sub love to downvote the reality that for many people it’s simply cheaper to live in near suburb than in many Philadelphia neighborhoods.
