Chevy Chase’s character is a pretty well off professional in a big Chicago company with a pretty nice house. Hardly representative of what most people had at the time.

It bugs me when Hollywood portrays “average” families that way, even back then. Everything from Home Alone to Nightmare on Elm Street to American Pie does the same thing. Mean Girls gets a pass because satirizing that life is part of the point.
