Maybe take a weekend trip down there to see

Can I ask what you went to school for

You’ll likely need a car depending on where you live in Dallas. If you’re okay with driving everywhere for your necessities then it should be fine tho.

Accounting/finance, MSc in accounting

Biggest change but it’s probably easier than driving in nyc

u dont understand wanting to save money for retirement or like buying property? lol

Not property in Texas lol sounds like hell on earth to me

My job sets me up with a decent retirement fund but it's not going to be worth much worth with inflation ballooning like this. I do need to start saving, just not at the cost of living somewhere I hate.

Moving to Dallas from NYC is basically saying to yourself "My life is now over"

NO WE’RE FULL

I’m from Dallas. It’s actually a decent place to live. It’s a little more progressive than most think. You said you’re Arab. There’s an abundant Arab/muslim community down there especially near Plano Texas.

Cool music scenes, there’s a culture there just kinda small and tight knit.

I honestly wouldn’t move out of nyc tho. I’d take struggling over the suburban flight

Dudes really have no idea about life in high COL areas lirl

You are more than fine on 98k in NYC

I’m in NYC OP and I considered moving to Dallas or Houston suburbs but that’s only to buy a house and start a family. A nice house too not some rinky dink s***

I wouldn’t want to rent there or live in a basic condo/house

Texas is a terrible place to live man the blackout/politics/people/infrastructure isn’t worth it

Fr

You'll be fine in Dallas if you just stick to the popular spots. Also Fort worth and the in between areas have cool s*** too. If I lived there, I would spend my life at round 1

Do you have a CFA

No

If you can buy a house, yes.

mfs s***ting on texas... good stop flooding in

Studying for it

98k, no state income tax? Nigga pack your bags and head to JFK right f***ing now

Why would you buy anything in Texas knowing that climate change is real

NGL y'all kinda ruining my city, Texas as a whole too so tbh go to like Georgia or some s***.

New York is a terrible place with terrible customs. People bring that goofy s*** to Texas and we're already close to capacity ngl.

A lot of these old f***s are realizing Texas is being purple and starting to turn up to make an example. But like our economy/government can't handle all that and they bring that culture war s*** with them too.

To make an example out of all the transplants these old ass white folks are leaning harder into that bigotry and trump s***.
