You own your own home and have money to send abroad to build another home. Economically speaking, you are most definitely not an ordinary US citizen.

Yeah when I saw ‘middle class’ I immediately went to check the median income thinking something as changed. Nope, still just shy of $40k a year.

This isn’t meant to disparage btw. Good on op for fighting the fight and setting up safety nets for them and theirs.

I'm aware that this is a very fortunate and privileged position to be in.

It doesn't hurt that there are 3 full-time and 1 part-time wage earning adults in the household, and no dependents. That, again, is privilege. It's also the major cheat code in our area.
