Are you serious? In the mid-sixties we went from poor, to lower middle-class, to middle-class. We didn't get a window air conditioner until the mid-sixties. And that was strictly for my parents bedroom. Air conditioning for many people in those days was going down the basement.At the risk of prying can you give me general income levels for how you define those levels?
In the mid-sixties my father (sole earner) made about fifteen thousand a year as a salesman. We noticed a definite increase in our standard of living from the fifties. However we had just one car (Chevy), one tv, we didn’t go on vacations, and my parents weren’t frivolous to say the least. And we thought we had it good for that time.Our neighbors lived more or less like we did. Nobody rich, nobody real poor.
