These TV Characters Are Way Too Poor To Afford Their Lavish Lifestyles

Chloe and June Colburn – Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23

We get that writers want their characters to have these enormous apartments and settings, but when it’s explained by another weird landlord arrangement, it really grinds our gears. Chloe makes her living by entertaining diplomats just once a year, while June waitresses at a coffee shop. Yes, there’s some rent arrangement or whatever but realistically, the pair wouldn’t be able to afford day-to-day city life at all. They’d be lucky if they could split a bagel between them. Plausibility fail.
