Maybe but they didnt have many toys - 1 colour tv in the house if you were lucky with 3 channels, no VHS, DVDs, INternet, microwaves, mobile phones etc. One car for a family. No cheap products from China. Plastic was expensive. Much less posessions in general eg clothes. No holidays abroad generally. Generally crap music ie not much diversity compared to today and only a very small % got to experiment with drugs, festivals, free love etc. Also harder to get into uni.
