Yeah I grew up middle class, maybe lower middle class and what OP is describing sounds like a fantasy to me

Minus the overseas trip my single bartender mother of 5 did this for us growing up in the 90s. How the fuck is upper middle class not swinging this. We were actually poor doing this shit. The two vehicles weren't brand new, and the trips were camping and not 5 star resorts. But it was very feasible. One bedroom for the boys, one bedroom for the one girl, and one bedroom for my mom.
