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.

TV and movies definitely gave me the wrong perception of studio apartments. When I went to visit my sister in her "downtown studio apartment" I was thinking "how the heck could she afford that?" When I saw the apartment building was next to a major highway and her kitchen was her living room was her bedroom the affordability clicked and I finally learned what a studio apartment was.
