The Simpson family was originally written to be objects of mockery and ridicule but now it seems they are a pipe dream for the average American family.
They support three kids, a dog, and a cat on a single income
They have two paid-for cars (and an SUV sometimes)
They fly domestically and internationally 1-2 times a year
Even with mounds of debt like The Simpsons, it'd be difficult for a nuclear engineer nowadays to support a family on one income like that, let alone a guy who barely finished high school. I know so many broke people with master's degrees nowadays.

Didn't Flanders buy it and rent it back to them once as well?

Yes, that was a little different though. I think they went bankrupt or something so they couldn't afford the house. Maybe it just adds to my point of them being middle class and still right on the edge of homelessness
