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

Tom Haverford – Parks and Recreation

Sure, Tom was employed from the get-go, bringing in a government salary of around $43,000 a year. Undoubtedly, that’s enough for a guy to live on. However, it is not enough for a guy who wants a stylish apartment kitted out with all of the latest stuff, with gossip magazines and fresh flowers everywhere. Clearly, Tom has expensive taste and we’re all for that – but we’re not all for reams and reams of credit card debt drawing us down into financial oblivion. Tom eventually gets quite successful, and thank goodness.
