9.3% is the progressive tax rate.

Also, need to factor in exemptions, deductions, etc.

Someone making $100K in CA will pay a lot less than $9K in state taxes.

People don’t commute to downtown to work. It’s true in San Diego and true in Texas. People work in Frisco, Plano, Round Rock, or whatever suburb.[/quote]

I’ve just checked top 3 “software engineer” jobs in Dallas on Dice. One was in Plano, one was in University Park (2/3’rds of the way to downtown Dallas), and one was near DFW. Quite a few jobs in Irving.[/quote]

There go you. Same thing in SD. You cannot look at Downtown SD to gauge commute time.

I’ve been to Texas quite a few times. It’s a good place for families starting out if you like the suburban lifestyle. I would never live there because I hate suburban sprawl. But like AN said, beggars can’t be choosers.

A friend of mine who is a software engineer got relocated to Frisco (outside Dallas). He’s making more than he was in San Diego. He rents a 2/2 townhouse with attached garage for the same money he was renting a 1/1 in Mission Valley. A/C is like $100 per month extra. No personal income taxes.

[quote=scaredycat]if there were some way to talk my wife into buying a cheap tract home[/quote]

Back to the original topic.

Money will convince her. If there’s no money to buy the big house, then the cheap house will have to do.

Lay down on paper the maximum you’re willing to spend and let her figure out what to spend it on. Let her make the shopping decision. She gets it her way and can’t blame you for the decision.

I don’t see how any feminist would have a problem with that.

9.3% is the progressive tax rate.

Also, need to factor in exemptions, deductions, etc.

That’s why I round down, not up. You can run the exact number yourself.
