What's the cost of living in Texas as in rent, food, taxes and available jobs? Im planing on moving to Ftw area because California is to overpriced and has gay car emission laws.

 

$1500 per month. for one person.

jobs?? depends on your skills and graduate level.

im stilll in college and im a waiter. makes about $2500 month CASH~!

 

WTF I can get a 1 bedroom appartment here in Orange County for $1,200, nevermind I guess TX is more expensive then CA.

 

Umm, I dont think he meant for a one bed apt. I have a 2300 sq.ft house for $1100/month

 

i think he was sayin 1500.00 a month for everything you asked about. texas is cheaper living than cali.

 

a little north of dallas - nice 1 bed apartments 450-650 month, new 1300-1500 square foot houses around 80-100k (payment around 800-1000 a month). jobs, all i know are trucking jobs and they roughly start at $12-15 an hour.

 

California has the highest cost of livin' in the US.

Texas is ranked in the middle I think. BUT, think of it this way...no state income tax baby!

 

u can get a one bedroom apt for like 600. of course depending on the luxuries u want it goes up. a nice place in a nice neighborhood, 800 a month.

 

Local sales tax is about 8.25%
Median income around $35,000 annual
Average new home cost around $200,000 but many available for much less.

Our new neighbors relocated from Southern California late this summer and said the home they sold for $900,000 back in Ca. is about the same size, age and condition as our current home which is only worth about $170,000 here in North Texas. That should give you a cost comparison idea between the two states.

 

yes..

 

Sorry I thought he ment only rent.

 

Im a automotive technician what are the job availabilies in that area.

 

you'll hate the weather lol

 

Whats wrong with it?

 

People are always saying that the weather here is great, But i dont think it's a good state to live in. There are so many gangs and freeway shootings here it's bullshit also to many ******* idiots live here.

 

ASE certified?? experiences?? you might find some jobs @ local car dealers.. if you get lucky or know someone then you might be able to work for high-end car dealers. my friend works for MB; he makes 75k a year..

 

It just depends on where you want to live

 

I think New Jersey is the worst. Highest taxes in the country. I feel sorry for these folks. They'll buy a 60 year old shack for 500K and they think they're living good. Couple more years till I'm back home.........................
