More precisely when I was a child. Son of school teacher called modest beginnings is wrong. Call a spade a spade should be called middle class comfortable upbringing!

Is it fashionable to call yourself from humble background when you are from middle income family? I would call myself from middle income family if I am him and not humble background.

It’s not fair to people with real humble background for such people that live easy comfortable middle income life to call themselves from humble background.
