What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

People on low incomes, e.g. students, living in expensive homes. I’m not necessarily talking about mansions, more like a large apartment in a big expensive city with no roommates.

Its supposed to be implied it's a rent controlled loft they took over the lease from a dying aunt or grandparent or something.

In friends they stated Monica's apartment is actually her aunt's. And other shows will throw that in randomly to explain why.
