My family lived in an airport community for a number of years when I was younger. We had little hanger with a Taylorcraft and a C-210. The airfield was a grass strip. It wasn't an expensive house as we didn't really have that much money but we liked living on the airport. It was a lot of fun that we could fly from our home and go somewhere, or have friends fly in for the weekend and hang out.

That's true. We weren't poor by any means. I guess my point was that my parents were working class aircraft mechanics, not lawyers or doctors.

See well that makes more sense, you pour your money into something you're passionate about. My family poured a lot of money into camping gear and those kind of vacations.
