It depended on where you lived and what your parents did. My father owned a chicken farm producing eggs. There was not much profit in that. The best he could do was a two bedroom house without electricity - mains electricity was not available in rural and semi-rural areas. So no TV. Lighting was kerosene pressure lamps - about as bright as a 40 watt bulb and made a hissing noise. But Dad was a mate of some guy he served with in the Army who had a professional job in an office. Guy had a huge house with everything. But you are right - middle income families typically had one bedroom for Mum and Dad, one for male children and one for female children. I was good mates with a school friend/neighbouring farm whose bedroom was their back verandah, enclosed with wire mesh coated with some kind of semi-transparent gloop to keep the rain out. Not untypical. Where there was not enough bedrooms, girl children slept inside in a proper room, boys on the back verandah. Just too bad if it was a cold winter.

"On rest days, Ross take his family out ...." ...in a Mini Minor. As the kids get bigger they'll soon tire of that. A 1970's Mum alright - boils all the vegies so the goodness is leached out or destroyed, and she adds salt to everything because that's what her mother taught her. And she had to keep telling the kids to eat the vegies, but all they could taste was the salt, so vegies did not appeal.

@albertafarmer8638 It was an excellent life. Its fabulous for a kid to be on a farm. As well as thousands of chickens, we had goats and a few other sorts of animals too. We grew mint on one acre. About half the area we owned was left natural trees. Lots of things to do on a farm. Neighbour farm on one side was another chicken ranch. Neighbour of the other side was a free-range piggery.

@HULK-HOGAN1 Same here. I still have Australian made business shirts that are in good condition after 40+ years of use. But new business shits only last a few years. I worked a few years ago for a dealer of American Big Yellow Machines for the mining industry. Every time I did something good they gave me American-made merch clothing. After 10 years use its all still good. But Chinese made electronics is good. Chinese-made tools not so good.
