A more mundane one, but people on reasonably normal incomes living in a house that's at least one order of magnitude more expensive than they could ever afford even if they purchased it twenty or thirty years ago. Its particularly bad in things set in expensive areas like London or New York or Tokyo. Like being able to afford a house in central London rather than renting a flat with three other people takes substantial money, you aren't going to be afford that if you work in a supermarket.
The apartment in Friends is rent controlled and leased by Monica's dead grandma. She's been committing fraud for years to keep the apartment affordable.
And the one across the hall with the unemployed actor and the waitress?
You forgot the gifted statistician with a stable high paying job in data analytics which he hates. It's the dullest work you could imagine and he makes a fortune from it.
He moves out thigh, and it's Rachel and Joey living there for a while
Chandler kept paying the bills behind Joey's back.

Not completely dissimilar from the current season of Only Murders in the Building!
There was an old meme about house-hunting reality shows that was like, "David sharpens colored pencils for a living and Kirstin volunteers 2 days a week at the butterfly museum. Their budget is two million."
I'd love if in one of those shows it's just implied lightly throughout the entire thing that they are squatting in the home of someone who died and the city never noticed or something stupid like that XD
That kinda happens in Friends. Monica is living in her grandmother’s rent controlled apartment in the village. And still had a roommate!
You're telling me a waitress in New York City can't afford a penthouse apartment and have a comedically unlimited food budget?
The apartment in Big Daddy was awesome and I was like ain't no way Adam Sandler's character can afford that!
How the fuck does Bundy own a palacial 2 story + basement suburban mansion on the salary of an incompetent shoe salesman in a store that gets almost no customers!
He probably bought it in the 70s when he had no kids and his salary was higher, compared to the 80s and 90s with inflation, but the same salary.
Everyone lives in amazing homes in movies and they all have amazing jobs like director of the cia at like 25 years old and they do a lot of work while walking quickly down the hallways barking instructions to their assistants on their sides.
Hey, if you got the property mortgage-free from your parents, all you have to pay is taxes. The taxes/insurance on a property like that would still be high, but not unreasonable for someone working full time, especially if they don't have to worry about a mortgage.
