Lower middle class, Working class, Upper middle class etc? Wealthy?
Just curious about us.
Grew up lower middle class. My dad was a Manager at an airport and my mom was a lower white collar worker

I think the term is lower middle class. My dad was a precariously employed academic who had long periods of unemployment while my mum had a fairly normal job in the healthcare sector. We were not poor but we were noticeably less rich than other families. It's a kind of fucked place to be as you're culturally alienated from the working class and economically unable to take part in the middle class proper.
Exactly... We had food on the table and we got some fun luxury stuff, but some of the kids i went to school with (who's parents were almost always high powered attorneys or drs or business owners) got brand new F150 trucks to drive to school from said parents.
We also took vacations, but never anywhere exotic while the kids I talked about above were able to go to Europe and other places.
Kids I knew went on vacations to Florida and the Caribbean, but no one ever went to Europe. We took our first non-family-related vacation when I was 19, and only because my mom got fired illegally and managed to win her lawsuit.

Im a creature of the suburbs yeah, but nothing like the above neighborhood. Not even close.
