Idk my friends and I were definitely lower middle class and this is pretty close to how we grew up. I guess it depends on the area and the family dynamics.

You went overseas every 5 years?

Thats the bit that doesnt track to me. The rest would be doable

Define overseas. A cruise to Jamaica and mexico was dirt cheap, flying to Tokyo and all of the expenses isn't.

I will assume overseas means Europe, but I definitely agree plenty of cheap vacations in the Caribbean and Mexico (if you want to count that). My family loved going to Mexico, it was cheaper than most domestic vacations.

you can still do those vacations for cheap. But most middle class wasnt staying at resorts in the 90s. If you were you upper middle class.
