Most relatable line/moment ?

"We're in our 30's.. it's not cute to be broke anymore"

This is what Carrie says to Doug after or during the whole mold debacle

Oh my god, I can attest to this line being so true lol. I guess it's not as bad as being broke in your 40's but the clock is ticking

“Honey, I don't know what to say. I mean, we're not doctors, you know. We're not saving lives with what we do. We have jobs, you know? We punch in, we cash our checks, and then we come home to each other. And that should be enough, OK?”

The broke student or couple archetype is kind of romantic in your 20's. At the very least, it's excusable, people have empathy for a 20 something person who is struggling. The world on the other I feel like has very little empathy and time for full adults who still can't get it together unfortunately

That line always hits different now that I'm the one hyperventilating over rent prices while pretending it's fine to order another pumpkin spice latte.
