In September 2009, Forbes Magazine designated the Dallas-Fort Worth area as the top place to earn a living in the United States. Dallas has a financial advantage for residents with its low cost of living (one of the lowest in the United States) and the state of Texas is one of the few states in the US that does not charge a state income tax. Gearbox Software is located in Plano, TX just 20 miles north of Dallas. Plano is the largest city in Collin County and is one of the largest cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. Home to an award-winning school system, outstanding and internationally-recognized Police and Fire Departments, Plano has become a prominent hometown of choice in the Dallas area. Plano is also home to numerous major corporations including JC Penney, Frito-Lay, and Dr. Pepper.

Entertainment abounds in the Dallas area! Home to 4 major sports teams including the Dallas Cowboys (NFL), Dallas Stars (NHL), Dallas Mavericks (NBA), and Texas Rangers (MLB), sports fans will never have trouble finding a great game. Food and nightlife are plentiful, with enough dining and social hotspots to suit any taste in Lower Greenville, the West End, Deep Ellum, Uptown, Addison, and the West Village. Concerts and shows hardly ever pass Dallas by and are hosted in numerous venues like the American Airlines Center, Cowboys Stadium, Nokia Theatre, and The House of Blues.
