The 1990s:
-
“Kids get lost all the time, they’re fine.”
-
“$900 is a LOT of money.”
$900 is a lot of money to me now in 2026, but probably just because I'm a filthy poor.
And Kevin's family literally lives in a mansion
And support FIVE children
Plus even by early 90s standards the dad was loaded. I mean look at their house in a rich suburb in Chicago, the fact that he paid for his and his extended families christmas vacations to Paris and whatever the other place was supposed to be. His family was rich too. He had a brother or something that lived in France and another that had a place in NYC under renovation.
In the first movie, I believe it was his brother that paid for them all to travel.
I don't remember how the second one started.
IIRC one of the holidays was meant to be to Florida.
In the 90's that was middle class (upper middle class). Now it's rich. Oh how the median has fallen.
Nah that house was a mansion in the 90s too. It showed up in the news a while ago for $5.5 million because it’s a giant house in a nice part of Chicago. That guy was definitely in the 1%.
To pay for your own nuclear family to go international would be middle class. Being able to pay for extended families to go international at Christmas to a destination location is definitely a rich thing.
No, in the 90s that was rich.
