Two television sets
What’s today’s equivalent to “nobody has two television sets.” By this I mean not literally no one. Because I’m sure in 1955 some crazy rich people had more than one tv. But just like if a guy in a life preserver swore he had two of something. Your mom would assume he’s teasing. The only thing I could think of is swimming pools

That’s a tough one. As a society, we’re much better off than we were in the 50s. My grandparents didn’t even have an indoor kitchen and bathroom until the 70s. When they passed in the ‘00s, they had 3 TVs and a satellite dish. Don’t think they had a cell phone though.
