I was wrong. $85,000 is the combined household income. My mother makes WAY less than I thought she did. After she puts money into her business, pays taxes for her business and her personal taxes, her net income is only about $12,000. Too bad, she works so hard, but if she started charging $600 for each kid she'd be out of business because nobody wants to pay that for daycare. So I guess we're middle class. Cost of living is higher in Canada, though. Like, we pay more for gas (on average) than Americans do even though most of it comes from inside our borders. But I still have no idea why my score was so low. I must live under a rock or something
But like I said, my parents grew up as true working class people for the most part, and those values have been instilled in me. Stuff like "you have to work to get the things you want" etc.
