Not poor. My parents had the means to have anything they'd want but instead chose to invest for the future. My father worked himself to the bone and was well compensated for his efforts. My mum stayed at home to raise us and keep the household together.

Even with restricting decisions in place, we wanted for nothing and that's probably because we were raised to want only the simplest of things.

That being said, we have a good easy going lifestyle. We went to private schools, summer holidays were busy with extra curricular activities...Looking back at it now, we had plenty of disposable income but my mum would never spend anything unnecessarily. We all had brand new cars when we went to the university (courtesy of my dad! he loved cars! XD). We also had two housemaids around the time I was a teenager.

I'd say we are upper-middle class.
