[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In what culture are neighbors an extension of your family? [/quote]

Lots of Asians cultures. We don’t move. It’s normal for our families to have land and we live there forever and keep building on the land. Americans move around so much. We don’t have starter homes and a lot of us pay cash for our homes to be built. We will say neighbors are aunts and uncles. It’s actually bad manners to call them neighbors especially in front of others.

In my country credit cards aren’t typical. They are becoming more popular but cash is the main form of payment. Getting a mortgage is a new concept because paying interest is considered a sin in Islam. I think in India it’s similar even though they are majority Hindu. They probably have more mortgages and more people move to urban areas for work. India is more western. There are pros and cons. None of my family is has school loans or mortgages. There is a peace that comes with that. In the US most of us work so much of our lives to pay off these things.
