I'd be very interested in seeing what their actual budget looked like. The people I knew who were raising kids in the 50s were some of the most frugal people I've ever met. They wouldn't be able to believe the types of expenses an average person has today.

Average Ford Assembly workers in Detroit make around $100k with overtime. You can get a lot of house in many parts of Michigan on that income.
