Really, I think modest living probably needs to be defined carefully here. Consider how medieval peasants actually lived (entire large families living in one room cottages, often sharing a single bed.) I would say that the modern equivalent would be sharing a studio apartment with four roommates.

A modest lifestyle in 5e is defined as

A modest lifestyle keeps you out of the slums and ensures that you can maintain your equipment. You live in an older part of town, renting a room in a boarding house, inn, or temple. You don’t go hungry or thirsty, and your living conditions are clean, if simple. Ordinary people living modest lifestyles include soldiers with families, laborers, students, priests, hedge wizards, and the like.

By modern first world standards, I'm definitely poor. By the standards of a medieval fantasy setting, I'm doing alright
