      Clark was never middle class. He’s rich. If the huge house, and fancy neighbors, and all the presents, and the grandiose annual family vacations, and installing a swimming pool in a place where it snows half the year, and taking a whole family to Europe doesn’t give that away, then idk what to say.

          Huh, maybe they did, I haven’t seen it in forever, but the original point still stands.

          I grew up in the 80’s and it was only normal for upper-middle and upper class families. It was fairly normal for middle class single people, but then again, it still is.

        Fair Point, but I guess vacation in Europe was not that expensive for Americans in the 80s because of the strong Dollar.

      Honestly, he had more of a corporate management position. I wouldn’t say they were ultra wealthy by any means, but I would put them on the upper end of middle class for sure
