I don't think the Carters were wealthy either. At best, they were upper middle class. The had a farm and a small farm supply store. Quote:
When his father died in 1953, he resigned his commission and returned to Plains. In addition to working his own farm, he continued a small business of his father's, selling fertilizer and farm supplies. He did the manual labor while his wife Rosalynn kept the books. Carter's Warehouse grew into a profitable general-purpose seed and farm supply operation.
