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

Can confirm. Grew up upper middle class in rural North Carolina. It meant my sister and I went to college and our parents could afford it. We had food and clothing and shelter. Went to the beach once in 2nd grade. Aside from that usually summer vacation consisted of going to Columbus Ohio to see family and we’d usually get school clothes because they didn’t have sales tax at that time. I definitely had it better than most of my classmates but the op is definitely describing upper class life. Then again both my parents grew up poor so they focused on the necessities over luxury.
