Despite always being desperate for cash, food or other supplies, some people never seem to actually run out. They might always be desperate for money, but somehow manage to live in the same house for the duration of their show, never getting kicked out once. Or they might always complain about being hungry but never starve. This is even common in works where the characters own a [[Cool Starship]] or [[Humongous Mecha]], and somewhat justifiable given that the maintenance, repair and fuel bills on those things have gotta be ''huge''.

* Bob's family in [[Bob's Burgers]] seems to always be living paycheck to paycheck. He even tells his daughter he can't afford to get her a dry erase board.
