Here's Why You Don't Deserve The Same Raise... In Pictures

Cost of living... illustrated.

Welcome to Dallas! This number is $639,900 — you may have to negotiate them down, but you’re also not paying state income tax so you can probably swing something at the top end of your range. It’s 4,495 square feet, so roughly 10 times the size of the Brooklyn place before you take into account the third of an acre surrounding the house.

That’s just the front. Here’s the back forty of this place:

Oooh. If you bought this place you wouldn’t have to buy a playhouse for the kids.

This stunning property is now vacant and completely refreshed to pristine condition. Features include nail down hardwoods, 10×6 wine gratto [sic], electronic shades, 3 fireplaces, custom window treatments, upgraded HVAC, custom mill work, plantation shutters, coffer ceiling, custom closets, marble in master bath and multiple living areas. Resort style saltwater pool and spa.

Oh. A “wine grotto” eh? Yeah, Dallas totally needs to be at $180K.

UPDATE: OK if you have complaints about this, then talk to the hand check this out. But if you’re still with me and just want to see something that an associate might actually live in, then here’s a house a real associate is trying to sell right now.

It’s a 3-bed, 2-bath in Denton for $465K.

Very nice little place. Much more affordable than the (admittedly stretching it) top end we look at in the rest of this article.

Great open concept look.

And a stellar kitchen.

So there you have it Dallas associates. This is a place that you really could live in!

While we’re in Texas, let’s check out Houston and keep this going….
