I think this is all quite subjective and harder to quantify.
Personally I grew up quite poor, by my kids are on a totally different level. Like bottom quintile to top quintile. So when I try to compare experiences, I don't know what "typical" might be like.
I had hand me down clothes and we lived in shitty rentals. I remember friends with big homes, new toys, Disneyland trips and so on. But I don't know if they were solidly middle class or not.
