Also, my impression is that there is a prevalent "keeping up with the Joneses" attitude in Utah. Sure, this is everywhere, but when your next door neighbors are also your ward members it becomes magnified.
I was once in line at the City Hall in Eagle Mountain. In line ahead of me was some gal, with fake hooters I might add, working out a utility payment plan. However, she was also planning to move into a 5,000 square foot house on an interest only loan. My experience with our Utah property has convinced me that there is a great deal of folk who aren't so gung ho on provident living.

But when one has enormous jubilees to come home and play paddy cake with each night, does one really care?
