Posting from Madison, Wisconsin. We may be heading to Pflugerville, Texas, mostly because of one-income trial year. On paper it makes sense, but I don’t want to make a clean spreadsheet decision and then create a messy family life. Specific question: Do tech salaries still go far in Austin?. We have two kids and one dog, so the decision feels bigger than just picking a nice neighborhood. We are trying to understand the true monthly cost, not only rent or mortgage. What did you only understand after living there for a few months?

A weekend visit will not show this clearly. separate the monthly budget from the arrival budget. The monthly budget has housing, cars, childcare, utilities, insurance, and activities. The arrival budget has deposits, furniture, movers, repairs, hotel nights, and all the annoying things nobody posts on Instagram. In Austin, summer heat and tech layoffs are the two categories I would not underestimate. A move can still be financially smart and still feel expensive during the first six months.
