One day, we'll capture the entire payoffs instead of settling for less.That strategy can work if you're using money you don't need right away (mine was SDIRA) but not if you need to turn deals to put food on the table.

Just food for though, hope it helps.

Today, kids want to enjoy their experience so they go to private schools, borrow money for housing, food and even car payments and spring break.

I am prepared to start working as a Uber Eats or Favor driver to keep food on the table. 

And that's my point being an engineer in San Fran compared to Dallas is still the same you may get paid a bit extra "to cover the cost of the city" but thats hardly enough to cover the prices of higher rents, food and gas.

The store was called Food Villa in Cupertino CA  LOL  

If you aren't moving walls around, moving electrical or plumbing, you generally don't need a permit.Just some food for thought.. 

So, I took $5000/month for the house, then another $5000 for our cars, vacation money, food, memberships in our clubs, money for all the activities for the kids, averages for closing, and so on.

Before COVID I was going down there for barhopping and food and other nightlife.

This post is meant to be clear, succinct, and food for thought.
