I really hope my wife and kids don't end up being very materialistic, and get more enjoyment out of spending time with friends/family than spending lots of money on clothes/ electronics/ toys etc. I'd also like to be able to provide a great home for them, and put them in a position to get the best education possible, so I wouldn't choose to be lower class, but if it was the differance between working 40ish hours a week making a fairly good living while spending tons of quality time with the family and making tons of money working 60+ hours a week and barely seeing my family I'd choose middle class living.
