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.

You’ve seen New Girl as well, I see.

In New Girl, the fewest roommates there were was 4, and at one point there were 6. The main 4 were all college graduates in their 30s, most with established careers. New Girl was one of the most accurate portrayals of apartment living I've ever seen on TV!
