Take Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards) fromSeinfeld.
No one actually knows what he does for a living, aside from some get-rich-quick schemes.
Yet, he lives in an apartment by himself in Manhattan, New York, Upper West Side.
Many characters from 90s sitcoms seem to be a tad, if not very financially unrealistic.
At least, they are impractical for those in the real world!
And Kramer isnt the only one whose financial situation is a bit questionable.
When her finances are not all that realistic for her circumstances, viewers learn that Monica hit the jackpot.
Not in the literal sense, but she illegally sub-lets the apartment from her grandmother.
It makes sense that things would be affordable with three monthly incomes.
This would be true if the family werent living in San Francisco.
This doesnt even factor in taking care of the three young girls, food, and other necessities.
Amazingly, the Heffernans are considered middle-class.
And, looking from the outside in, it makes sense.
He is a sports columnist working for the fictional publicationNewsday, having an estimated annual salary of $40,000.
Not to mention, he gifts his family with an extravagant trip to Paris, France.
Well, it does Al was over his head in debt.
It’s no wonder he’s one ofTV’s grumpiest dads.
The thing is, he isnt the most financially realistic one.

However, it is known that Phoebe doesnt have the steadiest of incomes.
She is a part-time musician and massage therapist.
While she didnt splurge on shopping like some friends, living in New York alone is not cheap.
His irregular income and wild ventures dont really make sense when it comes to his lifestyle, though.
