I mean assuming the 40K on shoes isn't an exact figure, the rent figure could be off considerably without really changing much. It sounds like the character probably makes like 100K and spends money on shoes instead of saving I never watched the show thoughhttps://twitter.com/Sharronica/status/1312910456160485376 …

This is a good thought for people talking budgets about fictional characters generally but these figures come from an episode where Carrie specifically is going over her finances in detail with her friends to try to count everything up accurately for the first time in her life

Because she desperately wants to get out from under her landlord and is shocked to step back and think about the fact that she is in fact a famous celebrity whose career is the envy of most of her colleagues yet she has so little financial freedom

Anyway the apartment is rent control This is a typical dodge in NY-set TV shows to explain exactly this kind of situation where someone seems bizarrely "house rich cash poor" but I mean it does happen irl, it's a kind of winning the lottery thing

Realistically if you were in that situation you really should just never move Like that's objectively better than owning your own place No matter how much of a passive aggressive ass your landlord is (I mean that's exactly why he'd be an ass and trying to pressure you to move)

It's been like 16 years since I watched the episode but *I think* the landlord was converting the whole building to condos (or apartments you own, IDR the terminology) and she needed a down payment? ISTR the episode ends with Charlotte writing her a cheque

Ah okay yeah I may have misremembered, looking back you're right, it was about her wanting to NOT move but to own the title to her place so she wouldn't be in danger of being forced out
