I grew up poor (relying on the food bank, no car, no money for the bus, washing my hair in the sink because the heat was off level poor), and I actually feel the opposite way. I love stories about upper class and upper middle class people and their upper class and upper middle class problems. I guess on the one hand there's something deliciously relaxing about stories where people's problems aren't as immediately threatening. And OTOH, I also enjoy that stories about rich people allow the narrative to explore personal crises that are purely existential.

That said, I'm not middle-class, but I'm no longer hand-to-mouth. If I were still as poor as I used to be, I may not feel this way.

OP, have you watched Shameless? I only watched the first three seasons, and I hear it gets really messy later on, but I thought the first three seasons were an extremely poignant exploration of poverty and I found those seasons of the show incredibly impactful and moving.
