When I was a kid the general setup seemed to be the poorer the kid the more toys and higher weekly allowance it had. To compensate I guess.

Obviously not very poor but relatively poor.

Totally the opposite, from my recollection.

Number and value of child’s toys/belongings correlated directly with parental income, with parental attitude as an independent variable.

For example, my parents were probably at the lower-end-of-comfortable but definitely not wealthy, but I had less money spent on me as a result of their beliefs around raising a child, and politics more broadly.
