16
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>We just laughed and had all kinds of fun and

17
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.399
<v Speaker 1>yucks talking about it. We played audio of him being

18
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:57.359
<v Speaker 1>sick and said he sounded like this particular current political figure.

19
00:00:57.719 --> 00:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>First one that can tell us you're going to win

20
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>those tickets. But right now it's time for this.

21
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Is another edition of things. Skin is Traffic.

22
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Ah, Yes, okay, I got a lot of things to

23
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.799
<v Speaker 1>jump to here, and they're mostly kind of money related.

24
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>But I saw an article today. I've always said people

25
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>ask me about, you know, living here, what it's like, etc.

26
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>I've always said, you know, it's one of the best

27
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 1>places to live comfortably easily. Now, that's always going to

28
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>be depending on your situation. But for the longest time,

29
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.640
<v Speaker 1>living in North Texas was pretty easy to live here

30
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.959
<v Speaker 1>comfortably because of just the way the economy is. Opportunities

31
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 1>and inflation hadn't hit us like other parts of the country.

32
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Well man, with all the people moving in from different

33
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:54.519
<v Speaker 1>parts of the country, specifically from California and New York,

34
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.599
<v Speaker 1>that is actually starting to change. And I saw an

35
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>article today your average person now living comfortably. That's there's

36
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>a variable there, right, pants off, shoes off, that can

37
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.000
<v Speaker 1>meet a lot of different things. Are you guys familiar

38
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>with the fifty thirty twenty rule when it comes to

39
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:15.479
<v Speaker 1>your income.

40
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.800
<v Speaker 2>No, fifty percent goes to savings. Oh, if you can

41
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.319
<v Speaker 2>do that, you're a mom. Fifty to your mortgage.

42
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:27.439
<v Speaker 1>Fifty percent of your income goes to necessities such as housing, food, transportation,

43
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and medical expenses. Thirty percent goes to discretionary spending like

44
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.719
<v Speaker 1>travel and hobbies. I would also argue eating out, Oh right,

45
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 1>if that's your hobby, if you're into that, that doesn't

46
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>cost what depending where you go, which restaurant you go to,

47
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:49.479
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't cost that much.

48
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Right, What kind of restaurants are you talking about? You've

49
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:54.280
<v Speaker 2>just gonna tackle bell, you know.

50
00:02:54.960 --> 00:03:01.159
<v Speaker 1>And twenty percent goes to retirement savings paying off debt.

51
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:03.599
<v Speaker 1>So it's just kind of like a standard they use

52
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:06.319
<v Speaker 1>the fifty to thirty twenty rule, okay, solid and go

53
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:07.680
<v Speaker 1>to in some places.

54
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just a toss, what kind of salad? Twenty percent

55
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:17.360
<v Speaker 2>to what I prefer? Sarap, you said, twenty percent goes

56
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:22.039
<v Speaker 2>to what sir? To either retirement or paying off debt? Damn?

57
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.879
<v Speaker 2>How are you guys doing in that regard? Ah? Not great.

58
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:30.439
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm doing ninety five and five. I've been

59
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:33.039
<v Speaker 2>looking at doing someting, so I'm enjoying the content. Yeah,

60
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing forty fifty and ten. That got you to

61
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>one hundred, yes, yes.

62
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Do you guys know what the average median household income

63
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.400
<v Speaker 1>in Dallas's dude?

64
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:51.759
<v Speaker 2>Fifty nine to five median household household?

65
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so to both household anybody that's bringing an income.

66
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 2>All right.

67
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Now, whenever you do this, you got a factor in

68
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Highland Park, and you have to factor in people living

69
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.840
<v Speaker 1>below the poverty line. Seventy nine to nine. It's a

70
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>wide spectrum. Ben says, seventy nine to nine. What do

71
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>you say, Kevin one hundred? What do you say, Christina?

72
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:13.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to go in between them? That's hot.

73
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 2>But no, no, not like that. I'll go I'll just

74
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:21.920
<v Speaker 2>say yeah, sixty five. The answer is or the answer

75
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 2>was no.

76
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>The answer is in Dallas seventy four thousand, three hundred

77
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>and fifty dollars, So seventy five thousand, just round up,

78
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.480
<v Speaker 1>so a big holder seventy five thousands of household median income.

79
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:38.319
<v Speaker 1>In Texas, a person needs about ninety thousand dollars as

80
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:42.399
<v Speaker 1>an individual or two hundred and four thousand dollars as

81
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:48.199
<v Speaker 1>a family of four to quote unquote live comfortably. And

82
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.279
<v Speaker 1>that now puts Texas in the middle of the pack.

83
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh so it's you know, it's not like Hawaii, California, Massachusetts,

84
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:58.720
<v Speaker 1>but at eight West Virginia, Arkansas, or South Dakota at

85
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 1>either on average, a person needs about fifty eight hundred

86
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:09.560
<v Speaker 1>dollars more than they were averaging last year to meet inflation.

87
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.639
<v Speaker 1>So you need to be making fifty eight hundred dollars

88
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:14.600
<v Speaker 1>more than you were making last year to meet the

89
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>demands of inflation. Are the tariffs gonna help that. It's

90
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 1>not gonna help it at all. And I was looking

91
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.639
<v Speaker 1>at these numbers going damn, because I've always thought North

92
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Texas is a place where you could live rather comfortably.

93
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 2>It ain't that way anymore.

94
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:30.439
<v Speaker 1>Man.

95
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:31.759
<v Speaker 2>This makes me know this.

96
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:36.639
<v Speaker 1>So you guys need to get back to that. Let's

97
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:38.959
<v Speaker 1>all move in together. Let's get a house together, save moddy.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, seriously, we'll let you have your own room, Christina.

100
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:47.279

101
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.199
<v Speaker 2>a bed. He's gonna need a bigger bed, he said.

102
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 2>He's going to pick up some waiters. Oh yeah, you'll
