My family did not get a color TV until I was out in the working world and bought one at the local Caldor's.
As for Carolyn, I don't know if she ever had sufficient reason to apply herself in school. Even though she was older, it seems that David was the one being groomed to eventually run the business. College does not seem to have an option for her. While she could have gone out on her own somewhere else, she didn't. Perhaps Carolyn realized that the Collins name and money would give a certain amount of prestige in Maine. In NYC social circles, she might not have been so unique. And there was always the possibility that there would be someone with more money.
