Maybe her apartment was rent controlled. Hell, as much as it pains us, maybe she even borrowed a whole lot of money from Charlotte. Except, in a zippy and unexpected twist, it turns out that particular building, at 34 East 62nd Street, has been torn down. Meaning Carrie would have had to move, and look for a new apartment at market value. According to numbeo. And though she waxes poetic on the romance of a train trip in season five, we never see her take the subway in New York.
In fact, she keeps her sweaters in her oven. But she does eat because we see her having brunch with her friends every weekend. And as we all know, Carrie loves her cosmopolitans. At the beginning of the series, Carrie smokes like a chimney. Except of course, for the fact that designer shoes have appreciated significantly in the past 20 years.
In season four, Carrie starts bringing in more money when she starts freelancing at Vogue. And eventually she ends up marrying rich. So, there is just a glimmer of possibility that by the end of the second Sex and the City movie, Carrie could actually afford her life.
But, if that requires ending up with Mr. Big, is it even worth it?
