I have an offer for a $92,000 a year job in Dallas Texas.
Is this good enough to live there comfortably?
After taxes and deductions this will roughly equal to $5,000 - 5,250 per month.

Yeah, it's good enough. In fact that's a good salary anywhere that isn't the northeast or west coast.
Dallas has a good cost of living, which is why it keeps growing so fast.

I guess. Just be careful there's an unknown serial killer that probably has ties to the police and or government thats why they're getting away with it. Also traffic sucks and it gets really hot in Texas. Invest in good quality breathable clothing, housing and car. Goodspeed.

In NYC you need minimum 200k to live like 100k in Dallas, don't even think about it
In fact make sure to tell that to recruiters in CA/NY. If you tell them you have an offer for 95k in Dallas, they will probably offer you at least 150k when they hear that.

Even in the nicest parts of Dallas (the new parts in the north, where all the headquarters are and they keep building new expensive stuff for all the incoming tech workers to enjoy), it's still way below coastal cost of living.

Kek. Yeah, it's true Dallas is a city where people go for money, not for fun.
If you want fun you better pick any other city.

That's more than enough in Dallas. That's where I live. You'll have a good apartment, and you can certainly afford a house if you wanted to. Uptown girls used to be stuck up, but they're more desperate these days if you know what you're doing.
