Nice! I did the opposite about 2 years ago. Really wish I had bought some real estate in certain parts of Dallas but I was just starting out and didn't have the capital/guts. There are parts of Dallas that I love (lower greenville, deep ellum, oak cliff) that have really boomed these last two years.

The move to SF has been worth it, though, for my career/finances. Net was a little bit lower than what I could have been making in Dallas, but my bonus actually, fully paid out and I've gotten actually significant raises. Also, since housing costs were so high I decided to experiment with alternative living styles and I'm now actually spending less money in SF than I was in Dallas.

Do you want to expand on this? Are you just living in a van now?

Can I ask if you're married or have kids? And if so, how did that affect your decision?

Married, no kids. My wife is also my co-founder so it made employment logistics easy.

Welcome to DFW!

Thanks!
