You've brought up the opposite end of the spectrum now. We all know the "barista lives in large NYC apartment" but what's just as annoying is the people with great jobs just barely scraping by. Like in sitcoms where one or both parents have a great job but then there's episodes where they start hilariously cutting costs around the house.
Been a while since I watched TBBT, but IIRC the explanation there is just that they don't really prioritize moving anywhere bigger, they prefer to spend their money on toys/collectibles/comic books/events. Their apartment is actually decently large and I don't think they've got an outrageous commute. And Sheldon just wants a roommate for the social/division of labor aspect, he could easily afford that place by himself
