The US tends to be a lot more spread out than Europe and the rest of the world. It seems like we're also more likely to move long distances for jobs and the like.

I'm pretty close to most family, 10 to 40 minute drives for everyone that doesn't live out of state

For the last 13 years we lived about 2500 miles apart. You can make the drive in 4 days driving about 10 hours a day.

We recently moved back to our home state though, so it’s about 30 minutes drive to my in laws and 2 hours to my mom’s now

oh please, 2 days, for a measly 10 hour drive? that can't be further than 700 miles, lol. I make a 15 hour drive (~roughly 980miles) yearly for our family Xmas get together. ~~granted that IS mostly just all flat land and pastures but still, put on an audiobook or two and you're there before the second one ends lol~~
