You think the working poor own their own homes? Most of them don't, but apparently more of them do than in the past. Also the average size of apartments have gone up, and the apartments are better furnished (even if you exclude the apartments of the wealthy from consideration). In the '50's, microwave ovens, VCRs and consumer computers didn't exist. Exactly the point. People are better off because they have access to devices that didn't exist back then. And not only that but they are more likely, in some cases much more likely, to have access to things that did exist (TVs, stereos, dishwashers, disposals, telephones, refrigerators, a car, multiple cars for the family etc.)
