not very? it's complicated. as an actual child, i grew up variously living in trailers, with dad doing state prison time, and knowing what ketchup tastes like when it's been watered to stretch it. but one side of the family was solidly middle class, so maybe some osmosis?

then after my nuclear family went thermonuclear, i was fostered with various people, the preponderance of whom were middle class. after what's supposed to be the formative years, but idk if you're keying in on things like financial knowledge base that more come later.

i would guess, what, that my actual background would predict an answer of $1MM, and an upper class background would predict something closer to $300MM? me growing up was a long time ago, though, and i do more than most to discard cognitive habits.
