Friends was fucking wild. So so musician, waitress, and idk what the fuck half of em did, but they all had sick condos and apartments and had time to meet up for breakfast in the morning
Of the ones you couldn’t name: one of them was an archeologist and professor, one of them was a successful working actor, one of them was a private chef with a catering business. So all doing pretty well for themselves, by all accounts
Either way, I am thoroughly jealous of their TV portrayal of financial status and friend proximity. Honestly if I could have breakfast with friends on the daily and hang at a coffee shop in the evenings most days I’d be pretty happy.
at the time i remember an article that estimated they’d need $150k wage to live like that. That was decades ago, so not sure what the equivalent would be now?
With that last one they actually went out of their way to explain how she could afford that apartment and it was basically the old “pretending my grandma isn’t dead to keep the fixed rental rate” game.
Perfectly doable if that apartment also has 12 other people in it and only one bathroom.
Or if you have a time machine and can go back to 1974

The last one might be able to rent an apartment some 10km of that area…
