When I was a kid we were lower-class and didn't have much money. One Christmas though I did get my very own TV: A 13" black and white, connected to cable TV. So small I had to sit less than 5 feet away to really be able to follow the details. In the family room was a 24" color set. Nice and rich. Could watch it across the room. ...
LOL! Compared to when I was a kid growing up in the 60's, your family would have been considered rich, not lower-class, since you had a color TV (24" no less), cable AND had more than 1 TV in your house.
We had a single 19" b&w with rabbit ears, got 2 channels. We were a middle-class family.
I'm sure others on here have similar backgrounds.
