Speaker 1: So Ben and Skin Show ninety seven point one The
Speaker 1: Eagle Man. We got so much fun stuff today, lots
Speaker 1: of stuff to get to. I want to remind everybody
Speaker 1: that we loves to give away stuff. We get way
Speaker 1: stuff all the time, tickets, all kinds of things, and
Speaker 1: we usually use that iHeart app, So you have to
Speaker 1: have it. It's free, you can stream everything. There's a
Speaker 1: talkback feature on there where you can leave messages. We're
Speaker 1: going to use that right now. We have a four
Speaker 1: pack of tickets to see Rangers Royals on June the nineteenth.
Speaker 1: That is June the nineteenth, and so we're gonna give
Speaker 1: it to the first person that leaves a talkback message
Speaker 1: with their name, their phone number, their email address and
Speaker 1: can go ahead and tell us what famous political figure
Speaker 1: currently where we just talking about That been sounded like yesterday.
Speaker 1: We just laughed and had all kinds of fun and
Speaker 1: yucks talking about it. We played audio of him being
Speaker 1: sick and said he sounded like this particular current political figure.
Speaker 1: First one that can tell us you're going to win
Speaker 1: those tickets. But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 2: Is another edition of things. Skin is Traffic.
Speaker 1: Ah, Yes, okay, I got a lot of things to
Speaker 1: jump to here, and they're mostly kind of money related.
Speaker 1: But I saw an article today. I've always said people
Speaker 1: ask me about, you know, living here, what it's like, etc.
Speaker 1: I've always said, you know, it's one of the best
Speaker 1: places to live comfortably easily. Now, that's always going to
Speaker 1: be depending on your situation. But for the longest time,
Speaker 1: living in North Texas was pretty easy to live here
Speaker 1: comfortably because of just the way the economy is. Opportunities
Speaker 1: and inflation hadn't hit us like other parts of the country.
Speaker 1: Well man, with all the people moving in from different
Speaker 1: parts of the country, specifically from California and New York,
Speaker 1: that is actually starting to change. And I saw an
Speaker 1: article today your average person now living comfortably. That's there's
Speaker 1: a variable there, right, pants off, shoes off, that can
Speaker 1: meet a lot of different things. Are you guys familiar
Speaker 1: with the fifty thirty twenty rule when it comes to
Speaker 1: your income.
Speaker 2: No, fifty percent goes to savings. Oh, if you can
Speaker 2: do that, you're a mom. Fifty to your mortgage.
Speaker 1: Fifty percent of your income goes to necessities such as housing, food, transportation,
Speaker 1: and medical expenses. Thirty percent goes to discretionary spending like
Speaker 1: travel and hobbies. I would also argue eating out, Oh right,
Speaker 1: if that's your hobby, if you're into that, that doesn't
Speaker 1: cost what depending where you go, which restaurant you go to,
Speaker 1: it doesn't cost that much.
Speaker 2: Right, What kind of restaurants are you talking about? You've
Speaker 2: just gonna tackle bell, you know.
Speaker 1: And twenty percent goes to retirement savings paying off debt.
Speaker 1: So it's just kind of like a standard they use
Speaker 1: the fifty to thirty twenty rule, okay, solid and go
Speaker 1: to in some places.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just a toss, what kind of salad? Twenty percent
Speaker 2: to what I prefer? Sarap, you said, twenty percent goes
Speaker 2: to what sir? To either retirement or paying off debt? Damn?
Speaker 2: How are you guys doing in that regard? Ah? Not great.
Speaker 2: I think I'm doing ninety five and five. I've been
Speaker 2: looking at doing someting, so I'm enjoying the content. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm doing forty fifty and ten. That got you to
Speaker 2: one hundred, yes, yes.
Speaker 1: Do you guys know what the average median household income
Speaker 1: in Dallas's dude?
Speaker 2: Fifty nine to five median household household?
Speaker 1: Okay, so to both household anybody that's bringing an income.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Now, whenever you do this, you got a factor in
Speaker 1: Highland Park, and you have to factor in people living
Speaker 1: below the poverty line. Seventy nine to nine. It's a
Speaker 1: wide spectrum. Ben says, seventy nine to nine. What do
Speaker 1: you say, Kevin one hundred? What do you say, Christina?
Speaker 2: I don't want to go in between them? That's hot.
Speaker 2: But no, no, not like that. I'll go I'll just
Speaker 2: say yeah, sixty five. The answer is or the answer
Speaker 2: was no.
Speaker 1: The answer is in Dallas seventy four thousand, three hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars, So seventy five thousand, just round up,
Speaker 1: so a big holder seventy five thousands of household median income.
Speaker 1: In Texas, a person needs about ninety thousand dollars as
Speaker 1: an individual or two hundred and four thousand dollars as
Speaker 1: a family of four to quote unquote live comfortably. And
Speaker 1: that now puts Texas in the middle of the pack.
Speaker 1: Oh so it's you know, it's not like Hawaii, California, Massachusetts,
Speaker 1: but at eight West Virginia, Arkansas, or South Dakota at
Speaker 1: either on average, a person needs about fifty eight hundred
Speaker 1: dollars more than they were averaging last year to meet inflation.
Speaker 1: So you need to be making fifty eight hundred dollars
Speaker 1: more than you were making last year to meet the
Speaker 1: demands of inflation. Are the tariffs gonna help that. It's
Speaker 1: not gonna help it at all. And I was looking
Speaker 1: at these numbers going damn, because I've always thought North
Speaker 1: Texas is a place where you could live rather comfortably.
Speaker 2: It ain't that way anymore.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: This makes me know this.
Speaker 1: So you guys need to get back to that. Let's
Speaker 1: all move in together. Let's get a house together, save moddy.
