Hey all!

I’m considering making a move to TX from Atlanta, and have the ability to work anywhere with my job. I’m looking to explore Austin and San Antonio and would want to lease/AirBnB for at least a year before I consider buying a condo/home shortly after.

Does anyone have any recommendations on which areas would be good to live in? I’m looking for an urban area with close proximity to stores and markets. I also enjoy going to social outings (i.e. Latin dancing) occasionally. TIA!

Do you share details about raises/bonuses/other financial gains with friends or do you keep it to yourself? I have a few friends who will tell me everything from how much money they make to how much their husband spent on them for their bdays to how much their parents make?? To me that feels like bragging/being arrogant. It’s also the way they say it, feels very much like seeking validation to me.
