Midlothian TX vs Waxahachie TX?

I’m looking to buy a home. I’m pretty familiar with Waxahachie. While both cities are relatively rural, which city do you see having more growth in the next 5-10 years?

Any other thoughts on why you’d buy in one place vs. the other?

Midlothian is a cooler name, but meat church is in Waxahachie. I’ll side with brisket

I am considering the same thing. Was in Frisco and hated it. I favor Wax bc it’s a little further out and prettier.

Both are South of Dallas. From what I’ve observed, the DFW metroplex doesn’t generally expand South. It has historically mostly expanded East, North, and West. Will that change in the future? I don’t know but I wouldn’t expect it to change based on how far north people are willing to move rather than moving south.

Folks would rather live 20 min from Oklahoma than live with minorities I guess

I am doing a back door Roth IRA through Vanguard and while everything makes sense to me, I am unsure if an additional $6000 be invested for a non working spouse. We satisfy the criteria but two questions - 1) Is this still valid I.e., $12k can be invested for 2021? And 2) Any insight into how this is done - Vanguard doesn’t let me add more than $6k as it’s above the individual limit. I tried searching the bowl for specific answers but wasn’t successful. Inputs appreciated.
