micky_mouse ; the price per pound is for the alive Khasi . If its cut and sold at the store the price is around $7.50- $8.50. Texas used to be little cheap but its getting expensive day by day. House that used to cost around 300K around 7-8 yrs back are now 450K+. One good thing is we don't have additional state tax or county tax just the sales tax besides federal tax. I think the price of house in NV are higher because there is not sufficient land and Texas is HUGEE. Here also the similar house will cost $700000+ if its in good ISD and there is not enough space example Coppell. By the way; I am always broke (paycheck to paycheck). To my understanding; in order not to be broke you either have to do run illegal stuff( gambling) or do tax fraud otherwise its difficult.
