Despite having no means of support, characters who either spend their days shopping or hanging out with friends always live in five bedroom houses with a pool in the garden, three cars in the garage and a walk-in wardrobe full of designer clothes.

Their car’s a write off, too, but that’s no problem – they’ve got a brand new vehicle five minutes later.
