00:05Carrie Bradshaw first strutted her Manolo Blahniks in 1998 on the hit HBO show Sex in the City.
00:12From her lavish wardrobe to handsome boyfriends, we all dreamed of being the charismatic writer.
00:17So how much would it cost to be Carrie in today's economy?
00:20Her one-bedroom, one-bathroom brownstone walk-up on the Upper East Side costs $750 per month on the show.
00:27In reality, an apartment of her size would at least cost $2,800 per month.
00:32That's nearly three new pairs of Christian Louboutins.
00:35Besides her rent, Carrie would also have to pay for her utilities.
00:39An average bill in the Big Apple runs about $125.
00:43Being a freelance writer, she'd need Wi-Fi for about $60 a month.
00:47Everyone knows the blonde columnist loves her cocktails.
00:50In the series, she's often seen sipping Cosmos with her best friends.
00:54A cocktail in NYC costs $15 on average.
00:58Assuming she drinks at least six a week, that's $90.
01:01Each month, Carrie would spend around $360 on drinks, but this is assuming she's footing the bill and not her new boyfriend.
01:09Add another $50 per day since she probably orders food while she's out.
01:13We can't have a list about Carrie's expenses without mentioning her shoe shopping habit.
01:17Since she's admitted to spending $40,000 on heels, Carrie has to purchase at least a pair each month.
01:24On the low end, her favorite shoe brands cost around $650 a pair.
01:28If she picks up three new pairs, that's $1,950 a month.
01:33Carrie's monthly expenditures would be almost $7,000.
01:36With a median salary for journalists around $39,600 a year, that puts Carrie's total debt around $43,530.
01:46Better lay off the shopping sprees.
