Abstract

They spend it! Use it to support their standard of living, sometimes referred to as "life style." In fact, last year a random sample of Cache Valley families showed they spent 86¢ of every dollar they earned to support their "life style." It didn't seem to matter whether they lived in the city or in rural areas of the county-- it ended up about the same. Housing costs for rural families were a little less than for city families, but higher transportation costs for the rural families about offset that for their lower housing expenses.
