The 50s must have been a good time for our parents.  Only one worker, the breadwinner because he was man of the house.  But some people didn't live like that.  Mom always took care of the home, until it called for the man's help.
I was just crawling around then and that's when rock music started and things were so much cheaper.  Even on my birth certificate is states that my Mom was in the hospital for a week, so it cost my parents $68.00 to have me.  Today hospitals charge so much.  If you have a baby you can stay there overnight, or up to 3 days, and the cost is in the thousands.  I think it must have been the 60s before my Dad could even bring home a $100.00 check from work.
