The meme is a humorous commentary on the changing definition of a "middle-class lifestyle" from the 1990s to the present. The author notes that what was once considered a middle-class lifestyle in the 1990s, such as owning a 3-bedroom house, 2 cars, and taking an annual family vacation, is now considered a "rich" lifestyle. The author then contrasts this with their current lifestyle, stating that in 2022, they have a "rich" lifestyle with a 3-bedroom house, 2 cars, and an annual vacation, but their kids go to college and they have to pay for it, which is a financial strain.

7 ese vse @JacobAShell "1990s middle class lifestyle" means 3-bedroom house, 2 cars, annual family road trip holiday, every 5 years overseas holiday, the 2-3 kids go to solid 4-year colleges, something like home roof repairs is financially non-catastrophic. In 2022 I've described a 400K/yr+ household.
