[quote=Anonymous]My relatives and friends from my smallish southern city live very differently. It is a God will provide mentality for sure. It can be very up or down. They all have nice houses and boats and other toys when they are flush, then a recession hits and because it's a smallish town, there are no jobs. Everyone has a car repo, foreclosure, whatever on their credit record. There are plenty of men working blue collar jobs who have worked their way up and are making 70-80K plus whatever a wife might bring home--a princely sum down there and enough for all the toys, etc.--and then either overtime gets cut or they throw out their back at 50 and never work again. So be careful what you wish for. That said, there are plenty of financially conservative people too, who save and scrimp and act more like your typical DCUrbanMom Money And Finances Forum Poster, but they aren't the ones who are flashy so there's nothing to point to.
