Hi everyone, it's Eileen. I used to love watching SATC. I remember drooling over Carrie Bradshaw's massive collection of designer shoes and luxury bags. What a collection of Manolo Blahnik! Not only that, she also has a very expensive taste for jewelry and clothes (remember swear on Chanel?). However, the older I get, the more I can't make senses of Carrie's frivolous luxury shopping. How does she afford her expensive lifestyle of a freelance writer's paycheque. The answer is, she probably can't. In this video, I spoke about why Carrie Bradshaw is all a fantasy xx

Hi! I’m from New York-at the time this was set rent control was way more common than it is now. Her eating out, smoking, drinking, taxis, and shopping are more unrealistic, but I can also tell you there are a plethora of girls I know currently living this life and not saving for the future, which is what Carrie did.

@anonymousanonymous-u9f Месяц назад

She didn’t have to pay for dates. She probably maxed out her credit cards.

@idaranwa4370 Месяц назад

Carrie had a sugar daddy named Mr. Big.

Oooohhh the rainbow Chanel! And the bright H orange!! I was never sure about the classic orange but this orange mini looks amazing and I think I’ll give *esluxy* a try!!! ! !

@WatsonBeebe Месяц назад

At first the gold hardware looked real. The fakes look much prettier, which is hard to believe. Now I always buy knockoffs from *hotdups* . I'm too poor to afford designer ones.

@AnnetteGray-x6g 27 дней назад

When people say *esluxy* is the better choice I totally agree!

@fabiennebovis-higgins7149 Месяц назад

SATC hasn’t aged well - I enjoyed it at the time, but now cringe at the shallowness, the obsession with shopping, the financial irresponsibility, the problematic relationships with the male characters…..

@tereza5211 Месяц назад

It was created as feminist propaganda trying to destabilise the family nucleus, thus giving more power to the government to influence people. Both parents at work, children can be indoctrinated by propaganda at school. See how many people come now from broken families, it did work at the end.

@michellef4645 Месяц назад

You are spot on Eileen when you call out Carrie's selfish behaviour toward Charlotte, expecting her to bail her out of her money problems by selling her engagement ring. When I first watched that episode, I was so offended on Charlotte's behalf and couldn't understand how that was supposed to be how a friendship worked. Back then I had a cash-strapped friend who was obsessed with SATC and expected me to help finance her irresponsible lifestyle. Needless to say, she wasn't a friend for much longer. It's true that it's best not to mix friendship and money.

@tereza5211 Месяц назад

I was so angry about it. Charlotte should have kept the ring and tell her his she sounds manage her finances. It's better to teach people how to fish than to give them a fish

@KaljoDossi 25 дней назад

Hey *esluxy* I have been following you for years and I am so proud of your achievements! I love you so much! Thank you for making my day too

@EvelinaEche 21 день назад

I have a bag with pearls on the side and Chanel on it and a chain all around the bag, it’s a mini classic flap but I got it in white…I’ve kept it in mint condition and *esluxy* ’s bag is pretty nice too, love this video!

@JimmaaAlfatah 21 день назад

Love your *esluxy* handbag collection and your voice is great

@CalloKane 21 день назад

Yes, the *esluxy* bag is a beautiful color, it was a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and shoulder straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag for the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves etc…

@julijakeit Месяц назад

Carrie Bradshaw is an escapist character, she's the most unrealistic one from all of the other ladies: Miranda is probably most relatable to ordinary women, while Charlotte and Samantha, well, are the extreme opposites where society's expectations of women go. Carrie is supposed to be this fantasy all women crave: someone who can work on her own time, shop famous labels, travel, be courted by wealthy and handsome men, be free and irresponsible. Well, even this carefree character is faced with real world problems. And I absolutely would not bail a 'Carrie' out. Where are too many financially toxic women who spend alimony or welfare checks on labels while children get second hand items and crappy foods, women who spend all their earnings on labels but expect others to pay for their rent or emergencies. Now I have 0 problem with owning labels, I do too but I make sure it's the last thing I buy and that I can well afford it.

@NerlieErian 20 дней назад

They always mess up the painted edges with overpaint, such a pity. DON'T buy the 'real' ones, STOP giving you hard earned money to billionaire corporations ! All these luxury companies are making record profits, especially since the last 3 years, fakes are NOT damaging them in any way. A women wearing a *esluxy* is still advertising the real thing in the eyes of most people.

SATC was relevant to me when it aired and I was in my teenage years. I acted, spoke and had the same financial mindset as the ladies (Carrie mainly) on the show. These women were in their 30s. I was 18. So sad.

@agaveparryi6280 Месяц назад

Greta video with a great message for the younger generation who can learn from Carrie’s poor approach to spending. It is simply unrealistic and irresponsible to not have savings for a rainy day. In today’s world where we have ready access to social media, instagram, ads and constant messages promoting consumption, we all need to learn to be judicious and not fall prey to materialism. There is nothing wrong with enjoying your hard earned money every now and then responsibly!!

@dianecyment1715 Месяц назад

I hope this inspires those that probably still live above their means to come to their senses and live a more realistic life. Yes, this is fiction and it was such a well-written series. Fun to watch!! My daughter and her family lived the last three years in Manhattan and their two bedroom apartment (975 sq. ft.) was $4,000 per month. They moved to the suburbs because their rent was going to go up to $5200 per month. They are now paying $4300 per month for a four bedroom house with a backyard. They have two kids, so it is so much more sensible for them (even though I am going to miss walking in the city when I visit them).

@princeeverlove Месяц назад

Fantasy fun....but in the end....only make Believe 💎

@adriankung1 Месяц назад

Great insights and analysis ! I also don't like the way Carrie treated Charlotte and sort of took her for granted. Anyway, Sex and the City serves a therapeutic function for women of the same generation.

@anas.6870 Месяц назад

My friend tried to introduce me to that tv series, but I never even made through one episode. Could never understand why people watched it and what they got out of it. I honestly tried, but nah, not for me. I think you really summed it up nicely, irresponsible spoiled brats that give a bad name to women. Or what a woman really is.

@claudiakalkbrenner4148 Месяц назад

When I saw the show years ago I was fascinated by it and really liked Carrie… years later and with a more mature point of view, it makes absolutely no sense financially! It’s not only Carrie, on the last movie, when the 4 of them are told that they have to pay 22.000 dollars to stay an extra night at the hotel, they all panic and immediately start packing, although they all arrived with LV luggage and an extremely expensive wardrobe. So those same 4 women, didn’t have 5.500 dollars each, to pay in an emergency? Although Samantha was willing to pay 50.000 dollars for a ring in the previous movie? And her boyfriend actually gifted her the ring! 🤔

@suvikoivunen8752 29 дней назад

Great analysis! Thank you, Eileen for this video! I always liked this show, although I never liked Carrie´s character. She was whining too much for my taste. And I did not like her clothing. I was a bit like Carrie, financially, one time, but I sobered up, when I bought my first apartment. You are right, there are some discrepancies between her income and spending habits. In my experience even with a decent income one can´t do everything. There has to be priorities. Since I live in Europe, I prioritize travel to clothes and eating out. But to each their own! 🐩🌻🌻

@sanna.katariina Месяц назад

Thank you so very much ❤. Would you make more of these, please?

@MY-kh9hx Месяц назад

Nowadays and at any time, lots of women act this way because they imagine someone rich is gonna save them and they are gonna marry rich. Rich men don’t marry financially irresponsible women. Rich men rent them for only their best years.

@kimstclair1879 Месяц назад

This is a really great vlog because its a reality check about spending and saving for the future and the end game eg retirement. I am always thankful that I have never had the body for clothes and shoes. Handbags, jewellery etc I can take it or leave it but one thing I know for sure you have to put something away in an account every payday and even if its only a few dollars because it's true from little things big things grow. The other thing I know for sure is that Carries spending was never sustainable for the average person and if you whack it on a credit card its a double nasty because you have to pay it back so your great purchase ends up costing you more than the original price and you are a slave to debt if you couldn't afford in in the first place. Put a little away every payday you never know when the need will arise.

@anonymousanonymous-u9f Месяц назад

She did some vintage shopping. She did not have to pay on her dates. Still, her lifestyle is unrealistic. She did get a book deal.

@dapperlygrungy3189 Месяц назад

Eyelean... It makes sense to me. Carrie Bradshaw will buy an outfit. Wear it a couple of times and will return it. And this process will repeat itself over and over - Fake Luxury. It's no different from youtubers who will buy luxury to create content on Youtune and photos for Instagram and will return the item back to the store only to repurchase new items.

I know it was a show, and I never watched it, but not paying someone back is a big No for me. I’ve been the person who ‘lend’ out, but do not receive $ back. After that, it’s a nope.

@10secondsofmylife Месяц назад

at least she didn’t have credit card debt or a mortgage, a car payment, klarna or whatever pay-in-4 stuff going on. she was living within her means, just right on the edge and not saving anything. her plan was a man, which for many women still is a plan. just a few decades ago, it was the only financial plan available to women who didn’t want to be dirt poor.

@hollygrace6814 Месяц назад

it is a fantasy tv show, lets stop trying to make sense of it all

@babycakes1402 Месяц назад

I wouldn't have let myself get into that position to have to borrow that much to start with. Yes, she is very materialistic, irresponsible, & looking back at the series now, even toxic with narcissistic tendencies 🤷‍♀

@annie22krm Месяц назад

@flohough1870 Месяц назад

I've never watched this show, but there is so much toxic financial behavior across TV anymore. It's no wonder people are so hung up on brands and in major debt because of it. Too much normalization of it being okay to be financially stupid and irresponsible. Drives me nuts.

@weroo6455 Месяц назад

@EvelinaEche 21 день назад

Lovely collection! I bought my first LV when I was 25 and I only used that bag a few times, haha. Also, love your clutch! I have an Eva clutch in the DE print and love the little chain. But I don’t want to spend so much money on it now, I have been *esluxy* buying the bag I want, it is as good as LV and is one of my favorite things. Durability

@JimmaaAlfatah 21 день назад

Such a great comparison! Everything is so cute! Especially the *esluxy* handbags. Their styles are so chic, stylish, elegant and understated!

@erikab8408 Месяц назад

No one should ever watch Sex and the City with such seriousness. The show was meant to be a fantasy of friendship, relationships, and fashion! So it blows my mind to keep seeing RU-vidrs analyzing the characters finances. If realism is that important, maybe watch another show? 🤷🏾‍♀️

@sonyadiamond4735 Месяц назад

I think everything you said about Carrie is absolutely true. I was like that until I was about 30 and got my act together. But I my humble opinion, Carrie is a fantasy character. I remember women just liked to watch the show for a bit of escapism from their snotty kids, nasty bosses or complaining husband's. But it is a different era, I mean how any trees were killed for those shopping bags.😮

@WatsonBeebe Месяц назад

I have to say, I understand why people say they don't care about people buying fake or knockoff goods, or why people should care. However, people don't necessarily "care" about people who own fake goods. Smart people buy bags at *hotdups* . In fact, people who have the money to buy luxury goods and invest in them do so for a reason.

@tippytoe1250 Месяц назад

Rent control in New York is more common than you think. I have family in Manhattan who still have their apartment from the late 60’s. Last I check they paid maybe $700-800 a month. But you’re right Carries income doesn’t match her lifestyle😂

@CarolenGrayToday Месяц назад

I agree - watching this show when it was originally on it was so intoxicating to see the fast paced boujee lifestyle of these ladies - as an almost 40 year old Carrie (and all of the ladies) are whiny and irresponsible. Funny how you can watch/see something at different times and theyre completely different views of the same show.

@tiggertay Месяц назад

I never watched satc, but I came across a video comparing Carrie's life to her creator Candace Bushnell. Obviously Carrie is based on her - writer, living in NYC, fashion lover. Candace definitely had her struggles - she couchsurfed or had roommates for years even when she was successful, but she never wrote them into Carrie's experiences. Carrie is definitely her fantasy self brought to life lol.

@ellengarbsch3174 Месяц назад

Excellent video. While I enjoyed the 11:40 show, it was always a bit of an escapism. I never knew people who lived like that, or wanted to. We had other shows about working class people but they weren't as fun.

@nikineal69 Месяц назад

Never watched the show(I didn't like the tittle), but your analysis is spot on. I'm sure your video will be apropos 20 years from now.

@rolandom29 Месяц назад

I agree with you… People fail to realize the ladies in SATC were wealthy. Average people do not have access to wealthy people or lucrative business opportunities. Carrie was essentially a well-known writer in Manhattan. Their lifestyle is unrealistic for the average person. The TV show is meant to entertain (escapism) the viewer even if it’s not relatable. I actually loved SATC and Carrie’s relationship with Big. Life is rather complex. Relationships do not always end with a happy ending. There are so many people who are single and experience instability in some aspect of life like Carrie.

@KimEwing-c3u Месяц назад

Eileen I do love you and think you are Fabulous but you came for the wrong one when you mess with Carrie! I am a huge Sex and the City fan because it is a get away from real life! Thing is it's a tv show if I want to think about the gloom and doom of money problems I would watch the news.

@jordanbelknap9168 Месяц назад

I understand where you’re coming from, but I think the point is that characters like Carrie can negatively influence watchers. It’s kind of like the Instagram life phenomenon. People see others living the high life, visiting places all the time, buying to their hearts content, but we don’t really see the reality of what’s behind those photos. It can lead people to spend irresponsibly or just lead to feeling like a failure. I appreciate analyzing her lifestyle through the lens of realism. It helps keep things in perspective.

@ChantalA489 Месяц назад

I was way too young to watch this show when it originally aired and once I saw a few episodes as an adult, I found it completely laughable and unrealistic how much money Carrie has compared to her job. I'm guessing she's in massive amounts of credit card debt that the writers just gloss over! 😆 Unless her job pays her $20,000 a month, seriously how does she afford brand new designer items?!! Emily in Paris is the same, ridiculous type of TV show too. Nobody in Paris lives like that unless they're trust fund babies or in massive debt!

@MsEasyBeautiful Месяц назад

I didn’t watch from the very beginning I know towards the end she wasn’t really smoking or at least in the movies she doesn’t smoke. It’s crazy to think how many people smoked in the early 2000s

Didn’t she shop vintage & 2nd hand stores sometime? I seem to remember a few episodes of her doing that. Not like it would make that much of a difference.

@jessier.cardona6062 Месяц назад

Great analysis about Carrie and the fantasy era in NY, during the 80s and 90s. This was just a “ flavor of the month “ idea, not only from the producers of Sex in the City, but a fashion, to be caught in the fashion itself, and show the world you can not afford it, but still , you can own it. I still know people mostly in their 30s and 40s living in the edge of their possibilities. Therefore, you can find on line great deals, and consignments stores, where people dump their shoes, bags, bracelets and even luxurious suitcases, because they are desperate selling there expensive luxuries goodies, to pay the high cost of living in such a city like NY. This was great , i remember this era. I never got caught on, but I curated my closet and I am more than happy. Thanks Eileen. ❤
