We've seen the clips and the clothes Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City loves to live it up with regular nights out, fancy meals, cabs, and lots and lots of shopping. Her love for shoes is famous (or infamous?) and it makes you wonder: Could Carrie Bradshaw really afford this all? And if so, how? In this video, we do a deep dive into Carrie Bradshaw's finances, from her income as a writer to her expenses, net worth, and what she could work on. If you're interested in money management, growing wealth, or reflecting on your own finances or if you'd just like to see all the wild ways Carrie Bradshaw lives this video might just be for you :)
