A great, great majority of modern people who think that their families are middle class are really lower or (especially) working class. Just a little known fact. Even families making 40,000$ a year regularly consider themselves middle class... Really if you think about it, middle class doesn't even really exist at all. It's just the bourgeoisie (the upper class capitalists) and the proletariat (the workers). Not to intentionally borrow Marxist terms, but this is true. The middle class is more of a propaganda device used to make people think they're better off than they really are.
Unless your parents own a small business or are highly paid, specialized workers or managers, then you're either lower or working class.
