In the 90's that was middle class (upper middle class). Now it's rich. Oh how the median has fallen.

Nah that house was a mansion in the 90s too. It showed up in the news a while ago for $5.5 million because it’s a giant house in a nice part of Chicago. That guy was definitely in the 1%.

I honestly can’t believe so many people thought Home Alone was about a middle-class family.

No wonder young people are mad. They genuinely seem to believe everyone was wealthy in the 80s!

To pay for your own nuclear family to go international would be middle class. Being able to pay for extended families to go international at Christmas to a destination location is definitely a rich thing.

No, in the 90s that was rich.
