I'd say that's an unfairly sweeping generalization, Aro. Where I live, folks (and most people south of the Mason-Dixon line in general) even fairly well off people are do-it-yourselfers, and the ones that have lower income do things themselves because they don't have a choice. And middle class people in the southern US have extra money because they save money doing things themselves when they can. It's a matter of pride down here. The community I mentioned are mostly people from out of state who purchased land in the countryside, not locals.

Not at all to say it's exclusive to the South, but that's just the way things tend to be around here. Almost every man I know can fix most household problems, and do minor automobile stuff.
