Last one to have...

Wow that's so sad. I don't know with my family. My father worked very hard to get the things he achieved but I'm not sure when or how he acquired everything. I came along late in his life. :)

wow 1973 that's pretty amazing they didn't have indoor plumbing until then.

Electricity. I cant remember the year but i was old enough to remember that we used lamps at night and battery for our TV. My dad was a politician at that time when he requested to give us (and the whole town) electricity and it was approved right away. Everybody was happy and we then started buying appliances.

I came from a poor family. We owned no luxurious things in life but we were happily living a simple life. It was only when we the children grew up and find jobs that our family were able to buy home appliances and had our house renovated to become more modernized. But we never lived to keep up with the newest. We were not brought up that way.

In the country the bathrooms were outside. They called them the "outhouse." Imagine late at night having to go out where all the night creators await. Some fel the need to try to kerp up with others. It's a complex.

My husband and I were the last to get cell phones and Internet.

Air conditioning as compared to a water cooler, and color television.My grandparents got their indoor plumbing around that time. They lived very rural.

Luckily , my father likes having the best for convenience . So , when the TV came out , he bought one and i think we were the first to have it in our town .

we had stuff that i thought everyone had, but we weren't rich at all, since i thought they were all basic necessities. i think what we don't have were video games/game consoles/playstations and karaoke/vcd/dvd.

Your Dad's family was late to have indoor plumbing, he's not that much older then I am but we always had it. But a tv with remote control, I swear my family was the last to have that! It was in the late 1980's when we got one of those, probably after 1987 which was the year that I got married, because I remember we were given a big console television as a wedding gift from my husband's siblings and I didn't know how to work the remote control on it. And we never ever had a door bell, there still isn't one on that house. Funny what you can live quite easily without isn't it?

My Dad always enjoyed to have the first new car and truck on the current year.

We didn't get a bathroom until I was 11 in 1950, but your dad easily beats that.

I think my family was last to have color TV. Even my grandparents had color before we did. They didn't get a color television until after I left home and that was in 1972.

I am about the same age as he is, and we had everything except air conditioning, because we were in the city, but my cousins had an outdoor bathroom and a pump for water (but had electricity). They also heated the house with a coal stove. That house was freezing in the winter except for the kitchen/dining room where the coal stove was. I remember when they got water laid in when I was in high school I was disappointed that I didn't get to pump the water any more.
