Where the Poor Get Richer
A few North Dakotan’s are finding themselves with a lot more money in the bank lately thanks to recent oil booms in North Dakota. In fact many have become what they refer to as “overnight millionaires”, not that you would know it by how they dress or what they drive.
We live in a pretty humble state so I don’t think we are ready for Bentley dealerships yet, even though North Dakota has the more millionaires per capita than any other state.
And you all thought we still had outdoor plumbing and buffaloes roaming the prairie!

I originally hail from North Dakota, or rather my grandfather did. I went back for a family reunion and there wasn’t much there except a school house. No-one lived at the site since the 40s. I did, however, meet 200 or so fine folks that were somehow related to me. I wonder if I have any overnight millionaires? -Sammy
