There was no internet nor cell phones in 1975. I did not have the money to buy a television set (about $400 at the time for a color one which was more than I earned take home for the month, so no, I didn't have one of those nor a car for that matter).
I had my first full-time job in 1975. It paid $2.88/hr. and yes, it was an awful job but, I did it anyway and yes, it did have fairly decent benefits that came with it that did not cost a lot.
I rented a studio apartment at that time. Cost was $175.00/month without utilities and is was your typical dump of the day but it was a place to live anyway.
As for the rest of these figures, some may be accurate. I think it depended greatly upon where you were living at that time and that $175.00 a month for rent was half of what I earned take home every month, so I lived on the other $175.00 a month which was not so easy to do.
