[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have we talked about the cost of the real estate in this series?

There is no way Madeleine and Ed could afford their house. Administrative director of a community theater and a web site designer? $14.8 million? I know tv always stretches these things but this goes beyond the standard "suspension of disbelief." LOL

[b]In the book they're more middle class.[/b] In the show it sounds like he's a big tech guy who makes millions. I don't care. I like the house porn.[/quote]

I actually think that's an important part of the book that has been changed. They are middle class in the book. They have a lot less money than their friends and neighbors like Celeste and Renata. Madeline has to worry about money. BUT. They're happy and in love. Much happier than their richer friends. The author talks about how they wanted a laid back lifestyle with time to go surfing and enjoy the small pleasures in life. The implication being that you can't buy true happiness with money. Big change in the tv series.[/quote]
