In the film business you work long hours and make decent money. Some (like me) save and invest, buying our clothes at Costco or off of the sale rack, rarely eating out and driving cars that are more than 5 years old.
There are the younger, single hipsters that are paying high rent to be able to live in Silverlake where "it's happening". Drinking their designer coffee, wearing their hipster clothes and spending their new found wealth.
When the COVID lockdowns first started they were on FB pissing and moaning about how they were going to have to cancel their trip to London, Paris and Rome.
3 weeks later they were back on FB crying about not being able to get through to EDD to receive their unemployment because "If I don't get a check soon I'm going to be homeless and starving!".
Some just never learn. They'll be the same ones pissing and moaning when the actors or writers go on strike, never saving for a rainy day.
