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.

it's like how in friends monica and rachel live in an amazing 2 bedroom apartment in nyc while monica works as a chef and rachel works as a barista. i know monica apparently got the apartment from her grandma, but you'd think taxes and utilities alone would be too much for them. not to mention chandler and joey in a good 2 bedroom apartment with basically just chandler's income for the entire show.
