I’ve been in Dallas for about 6 months, and I am still thrilled with my decision.
Many of you remember that I made the decision to move using a spreadsheet. I figured out what was important to me in a city and simply ran the numbers.
This approach to moving had several benefits:
- It forced me to prioritize which factors are were important to me in a city.
- It provided a structure for thoroughly researching the cities that I might move to. Specifically, it forced me to look at neighborhoods, rents, commuting time, etc.
- The spreadsheet also made me comfortable with my decision to move because the decision wasn’t based on random assumptions or someone else’s opinion of a city.
Several people have asked me to create a template, so here it is.
Let me know what decisions it helps you make!

June 28, 2022 at 6:54 pmHi there! I’m trying to download your spreadsheet template but it keeps showing up as a one page word document that explains how to use it – and it’s not actually including the actual spreadsheet. Would you mind sharing it with me? lindseyburdick47@gmail.com
Thank you!!
