Average new home built in the 1950's was 1100 square feet.
Today's average is 2200.
Also- In the 50's, there was one family car. Compared to today, where multiple cars is normal, no wonder a family did just fine on Dad's income alone.
Double the size of the house, double the cars in the driveway, shouldn't be a surprise the family needs double incomes.
