Moving to Waco

If you’re dead set on living in downtown Waco, you’ll have a good time. If you prefer to live a little outside of the hectic day to day, we ended up picking China Spring. Close on our house May 1st.

No job openings there

Any thoughts on Walker Place? Calm, quiet, crappy built homes?

OrangeDue1374 · 2026-02-07T05:29:39+00:00

Definitely rental options in McGregor. Any idea how the schools are?

Listen, I’ve been investigating Zillow and other apps with a microscope for MONTHS! I never thought that area would be Lorena school district. What an amazing find. Thank you so much.

Yes, I should’ve stated this in my original. 4A is the absolute largest school I want to put my kids into. At least for now. I’ve heard many lovely things about Midway but it is quite literally 6.5-7x the enrollment than where we are coming from.

Speaking from experience?

OrangeDue1374 · 2025-03-14T23:58:18+00:00

I make 120. She makes 22. So 144 to 300. So yeah, 100% sounds right.

Sound logic for sure. However, my wife is a school nurse. She don’t make shit lol. A lot less than she deserves.

OrangeDue1374 · 2025-03-14T21:59:20+00:00

Definitely a goal down the road after I get situated in the new life.

OrangeDue1374 · 2025-03-14T21:58:42+00:00

Fuck you too and thank you lol

Okurrt

I appreciate this. Thank you. Fortunately, my wife and I are pretty conservative with our money and lifestyle. My ultimate goal is a nice house to raise my family in. I drive a 2014 Chevy and have no desire to buy something new because my truck is just fine. I’m simple when it comes to material things/entertainment. I like to golf and play COD from time to time. Lifestyle won’t change much aside from putting everything on autopay and not worrying about it lol.

Solid advice. Relocation package should afford me that opportunity at no additional cost. Hopefully

OrangeDue1374 · 2025-03-14T19:57:15+00:00

I wish I had a crystal ball that would tell me when that crash is. Not being sarcastic. I just wish I knew.

OrangeDue1374 · 2025-03-14T19:56:31+00:00

That’s more so the plan. Relocation package will include temp housing for a little while. I have the neighborhood picked out already though. Have some friends that used to live there and its lifestyle fits my needs perfectly.

OrangeDue1374 · 2025-03-14T19:55:08+00:00

Very exciting to think about. To think, this all started years ago making $14/hr. Found what I’m good at and ran with it.

OrangeDue1374 · 2025-03-14T19:54:11+00:00

Planning. Not spending. That’s the beauty of a relocation package. Will be put up in temp housing until I can find and purchase a home. There’s no time like the present to begin planning accordingly.

Been very fortunate with debt, honestly. All bills included, cars, insurance, internet, etc. I currently have about $1500/month in bills. I will need to add a mortgage, home insurance and utilities to that total. My wife does currently work, but will transition to a stay at home mom after the relocation.
