They struggle and hustle, seriously. Howard County has one of the highest household income in the US; the media income currently stands around 81K, average house in the area is in the 500-600K (not the fanciest home but average) for a family with 2 kids & a dog, plus car payments. Things get tight soon in that type of situation. Not a situation I would ever like to find myself in; when purchasing my house a few years ago, the real estate lady was trying to get me to go for more; I simply asked in a polite fashion to keep out of what I can afford and focus more on what I asked her to get me. I have too many friends my age living in close to million dollar home and being house poor, struggling every month to meet their engagements though making great money.

People BECOME racist after living here, and people as a rule do what's expected of them, so you get a bunch of dumb rednecks hooning around in pickups and a bunch of thugs robbing K-marts.
Money may go a long way in the south, but you get what you pay for.

You are all over the place man
well placed about stereotyping being a product of experience and common sense. I always have a good laugh at the trucks with hanging silver/gold b*lls.

Marriage would do that to you and slightly tame down that uber wildness of yours. I said slightly when you have an awesome wife who lets you be
