I'd say that my family is relatively rich. In terms of technology, we have four laptops, and my pc, 2 HDTVs, a PS3, 360, all of the last gen consoles, a PSP (I'm getting my own in a few weeks), DS, a gaming room, more mobile phones than living organisms.
My parents have a car each (Dad = Audi A4 a year old, perhaps two | Mum = VW Passat '05 (getting a new Mini Cooper at the end of the year), which they upgrade every two-three years.
We usually have two/three holidays a year, with at least one of them being abroad (By the end of this year I will have spent a long weekend at Center Parcs, three weeks in Florida, and a week in Andorra). On top of that, my parents usually vacate without us, last year they both went to Hong Kong for two weeks, and they've been to Crete for 10 days. My dads been on a few golfing holidays in Portugal, and my mum has been to Italy and other places.
We usually get top-of-the-range foods (unless we can't taste the difference), and always get brand new high quality clothes.
My parents are not exactly tied to work, either. My mum only works term times, doesn't work Mondays, and comes off work early on Wednesdays. My dad has time off work whenever he feels like (didn't bother going in today, went shopping and golf, instead).
It wasn't always like this, though. My parents had me when they were young (18/19, I believe), and my dad worked 6 days a week, from 6-5, at shit pay. But he works his way up, and now owns the company. He's managed to turn it around from a company that's downsizing, to one that's buying other companies out.
