Shownotes

Baristas in penthouses. Teachers in lofts. Columnists with couture closets.

This week on A.J. Chat, we’re breaking down 15 of the most financially implausible jobs in TV history. From Carrie Bradshaw’s Manolos to Kramer’s rent-free life, these characters lived large on salaries that wouldn’t cover utilities.


💸 Inside this episode:

  • Sitcom economics and fantasy paychecks
  • Wildly unrealistic TV careers we believed anyway
  • Why no one on TV ever checks their bank balance


Because if real-world salaries worked like this, we’d all have a speakeasy by senior year.
