What did Reese do for a living?

She was a professional athlete. That had been her full-time job until she was cut. I don't remember her apartment as being huge. She mentioned her tenants after she had sublet her apartment to move in with her new boyfriend who, incidentally, made $14mil/year playing softball.

B-Bomber, in Hollywood movies, everyone lives in big/comfortable apartments with terraces looking at the Manhattan skyline, even if they're secretaries. Can you imagine Hollywood movies where every average person would live in a tiny studio with one window looking at a wall? Which can cost about $1,500 a month, so imagine those apartments we see how much they cost.

How much money was Carrie Bradshaw making from her "Sex and the City" column to live in that comfortable apartment in Upper East Side of Manhattan?? And having money to eat all the time in fancy restaurants were a salad costs 20 dollars (at least), and drinking Martinis which can cost 15 dollars, and buying all these tons of expensive shoes and clothes. And of course, paying all these bills, electricity, phone, mobile phone, Internet, water, utilities, etc.

Miranda and Samantha, yes, the one is a lawyer, the other a PR, they can afford all these things. But a half page column? Sure. In the real world, she'd live in a basement in Brooklyn.
