We were talking about wealth, albeit rather limited wealth in that era.

All of my brothers and sisters bought their own home before they
got legal (21). They were on their second or third car. They
worked and supported themselves. All of my relatives on my mother's
side had some kind farm business before they were legal.

None were rich. None were even middle class. Most were poor.
