No, going to Disney world and taking yearly vacations used to be considered middle class. On one income, by the way. We’re just so beaten down these days that we consider basic life enjoyment and time off away from the house “upper class.” I’m old enough to tell you it wasn’t, and it hasn’t been this way very long.
I'm middle-aged and I don't know any middle class families that took annual vacations when I was younger. My upper middle class and upper class friends did though. How long ago are you talking here? In the 50's?
