We have also noticed, colloquially, that people in the Midwest seem to have a lot more STUFF, prob b/c they have more disposable income and more place to put it.  The circles we run in around here:  everyone is making a choice b/w space and stuff and $$, so, all other things being equal, our friends out here may have made the decision to have a smaller house and spend the $$ to live closer in, and go to a park, say, instead of have a backyard.  Whereas our friends back in the Midwest would seriously think someone was poor, destitute , on the streets if they did not have a backyard!  Or, each kid didn't have their own bedroom!  Or, a family chose not to have cable.  Etc.  (We don't have cable, and no one in DH's family can understand that about it.  LOL.  It is kind of funny everytime they visit us.  I inwardly giggle everytime someone in DH"s family asks us, "You DON"T have CABLE?????????")  [/quote]

Don't have cable, either.  Many friends don't have TVs.  Shockingly, many Midwesterners find a way to survive without Honey Boo Boo.   I even know some people who can read, like, big books without pictures.  [/quote]
