Yesterday, Beanorama and I were a-walking and a-talking down Kelly Drive. We walked 3.5 miles and didn't even really try to! I was proud.
Although the show has been long-retired and is in syndication, my thoughts often travel to the women of SATC. And yes, I do believe that most things in life can be related to one or more episodes. Just not the one with the comic book guy and the fried chicken. I hated that one.
Anyway, Beanorama and I discussed the following:
Charlotte gives Carrie (who is BROKE as a joke) her engagement ring to use as a down payment on her apartment so Carrie can buy it. Now, even if Charlotte's ring was worth 100,000 bones, that's still not THAT much money for a NYC brownstone apartment. Carrie's mortgage must be through the roof and she has to pay Char back. Beanorama supplied that her apartment WAS rent-controlled, but still....the figures just don't add up.
Discuss.

Alg, I agree with you. But they allude in the episode that she needs about $40,000. She spent that in shoes and Big gave her $30,000 I think. Still, not very believable.
You are so smart, Flip. You should do some lunges to celebrate.
But wait...her apartment is teenie tiny. You really think a one bed in NY is over a million?
I have no idea. I don't even knwo how much cars cost.
Don't forget that it was JUST for the down payment not to purchase the apartment out right, right?
Alg, I have to fall onto chairs, couches and toilets to sit now.
didn's she rip up Big's check?
And also: her apt was in a good part of town, right?
Yes. And I know that if she puts 30grand down on a 300,000 dollar apartment, her mortgage payments (depending on interest rates) would be a lot more than 2,000 a month.
