middle-class although everyone assumed we were upper-middle / lower-rich because we owned a couple businesses

in reality we had less than some people with regular 9-5 jobs because everything my dad made he put back into the business and didnt always draw a paycheck. we didnt do vacations and i def didnt get the stuff the other kids had but i never really cared.
now i'd say they are upper-middle, no debt ... 2 homes ... property ... half dozen vehicles and plenty of toys all paid for.
my grandparents had good amount of money but my aunt sucked it dry, there were some richies in the extendend family, aunts and uncles worth 7 figures. my cousin is in the 5-10 mil range now and he's younger than me (fuck inheritances)
me .... me i'm poor, but i get by and couldnt be happier
