Alice got room and board and maybe Mike was a partner in the Architect firm?
Carol might have got child support also for the 3 girls. |

| Alice was a live in so that lowered her salary. Plus she got all that meat for free from Sam the Butcher. |

Why does an architect have three bedromm with six kids? |

Clearly the folks over at Mad Men had no hand in this show. |

| Growing up, we had a full-time housekeeper. She didn't live with us but came in everyday, 9-6, 3 kids, big house, was paid $200. It was the seventies... |

In the show it was never really addressed as to whether Carol was a widow or divorced. Mike was definitely a widower-- there was a scene in the pilot that confirmed that. It's absurd that I walk into a room at least once a day and can't remember why I'm there, but yet I can remember silly Brady Bunch trivia. |

I can remember kids who sat around me in elementary school and the plots of many TV shows from when I was a kid but I can't remember when my son has gym or library. |

| I thought Carol was a widow. May be there was a big life insurance payout? |

Monica's apartment was her grandmother's and it was rent controlled. It was mentioned that Chandler actually made a lot of money (and had a roommate). |
