I was raised Mormon. Finally left in my 40s.

I always go with experiences over stuff. I want to do something with the people I care about and collect memories instead of things. It gives people the freedom to be as frugal or lavish as they want and I don’t have to store or return anything.

10 people were killed in an oil well explosion in 1955. A large group of people had gathered to watch the well be torpedoed (early form of fracking). There’s a small plaque at the site now. It’s next to a pretty good brewery. https://wchsutah.org/miscellaneous/escalante-well-explosion.php

Kind of… It’s really that weird bridge period between the two generations. 1980 seems to be the sweet spot. The further your birth year is from it, in either direction, the less tech savvy they seem to be.
