Well, there's some changes and dates that are independent from personal experience.

When Reagan took office, "middle class" was still defined as one job supporting a family of four. In those days, $1 million was considered a great fortune. By the time Bush Sr. was done, middle class was two jobs to support the household, and $1 million was what a rich guy paid for a party.
