Switched from State Farm to Progressive last year. Same coverage. Saved $680/year. Literally the same coverages and limits.

We chose Frisco ISD over Parish Episcopal and don't regret it. The AP course selection is massive, the facilities are brand new, and we saved $20K/year.

Got a reverse osmosis system after checking the EWG database for my zip code in Plano. Difference in taste is dramatic. Best $200 I've spent on my house.

Dallas Water Utilities adjusted my $680 bill down to $110 after a meter test showed a 4% inaccuracy. All I had to do was request the test.

Black Swan Yoga being donation-based is one of the best things about DFW fitness. Real yoga, real teachers, pay what you can. No financial barrier.

Jeng Chi dim sum is the real deal. My Cantonese parents approve and that is NOT easy to earn.

Ward vs. Gatti Round 9 is the single greatest round of boxing ever fought. If that does not hook you on the sport, nothing will. YouTube it right now.

Cidercade is the best deal in Dallas entertainment. $12 for unlimited games and you can bring your own drinks. It's not even close.

The service road hack is underrated. When 75 locks up near downtown, I hop off at Fitzhugh and ride the service road. Saves 15 minutes easy.

The doorbell test is the giveaway. My Ring caught someone ring and wait, then walk around the side of my house when I didnt answer. I was home and yelled at them through the Ring speaker.

The underground mic scene in Dallas is so real. Did a show in a laundromat in East Dallas. Twelve people showed up and it was magic.

Parkland saved my life and then their financial counselor saved my finances. I had a $47,000 bill reduced to $800. Apply for assistance even if you think you won't qualify.

Escape Expert in Plano is legit. The Asylum room had our group of 5 screaming. We did NOT escape.

NTTA billing is genuinely broken sometimes. I had a $340 bill for tolls I didn't take. Took 3 calls to resolve. Check your statements.

CUTX gave me a 5.9% auto loan when Capital One offered 7.8% for the same car. Credit union auto loans are always the first place to check.

I live in the complex next door. Woke up to sirens and could see flames from my window. Terrifying.

Just passed it going southbound. Looks like a semi was involved. First responders cutting someone out of a car.

QuakeCon at the Gaylord Texan is a bucket list event for PC gamers. Thousands of people with their entire rigs set up in one room. The energy is insane.

They came to my parents house in Deerfield last week. My 75 year old dad almost paid them $400. Caught it just in time.

The Mixmaster is a war zone. I take surface streets through downtown just to avoid it.

Pool cleaning in DFW is a legit side hustle that nobody talks about. 20 pools at $150/month = $3,000/month and each pool takes 20 minutes. The math is incredible.

DivorceCare at Watermark Church helped me through the worst year of my life. Cannot recommend enough even if you're not religious.

I watched someone throw a drink at another car on 635 last week. We're losing it as a society.

Got three random packages last month. Two had cheap LED lights and one had a phone case. Changed all my passwords after reading about brushing.

The itemized bill tip is real. I requested one and found $800 in duplicate charges that were removed immediately.

DFW REIA monthly meetings are excellent for anyone interested in real estate investing. Mix of beginners and experienced investors. Networking is valuable.
