It also depends on who your parents are. My parents at my age were poor working class. We had a much smaller house (800 sq ft), used cheap cars, cheaper clothing, etc... My dad spent a lot of time fixing our cars (I don't even try), fixing plumbing issues, and we rarely ate out (and never DoorDash'ed!). I was lucky to get some quarters to go to the local arcade to play Pac Man.

My point -- even being slightly lower middle class now would feel like a good jump over my parents. That's just pointing out that comparisons to parental income is very relative.
