Sex and the City… it was the iconic series that taught us about sexual liberation, female friendship and 90s fashion, but one area where it most definitely failed the ‘modern woman’ was in fiscal responsibility.
Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte were famed for their fancy dinners at trendy establishments, designer wardrobes and Manhattan real estate, but when you factor in the money in/money out equation of their bank accounts, the figures are extremely dire.
Now, UK telecommunications company, Giff Gaff has calculated exactly just how much in debt each character would have accrued by the end of six seasons and two films, and the figures are pretty bleak.
However Carrie – despite her running credit card debt and penchant for Manolo Blahniks – wasn’t even nearly the worst off.
The data was based on the gang’s expenditure on dining, rent, clothes, shopping, services (like Miranda’s housekeeper and Charlotte’s nanny) and one-off buys like real estate and vacations. Their average incomes were calculated by recruitment specialist, James Calder.
