I published an article about Monica from “FRIENDS” not being able to afford her New York apartment the other week, and some commentators pointed out how Carrie Bradshaw from the iconic “Sex and the City” show probably couldn’t pay her bills either. I believe that “Sex and the City” looks even less realistic compared to “FRIENDS.”

I know it’s all fiction, but wouldn’t you want to know how much Carrie would need to pay for her bills? I would. This is why I sat down, whipped out a blank spreadsheet, and calculated how much a columnist in the Big Apple would require to make to afford not only the basic needs but also all the luxuries mentioned in the show. Unsurprisingly, it ended up being more than I expected.

Strap yourselves in! Let’s see how much a woman like Carried would have to earn to pay for all the bills.
