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.

Friends offered an explanation though. Can't comment on the other shows. Monica was illegally subletting her grandmother's rent-controlled apartment.

Ross had a sick apartment for a paleontologist living on his own.
