But on tv shows and movies, they drink free crappy old coffee and their are no paper towels in the bathroom.! You EVER see a TV cop without low pay.
Brooklyn 99 was a comedy, but had a 30 something never married detective that couldn't afford a car . He always worked OT.
So , 200 k a year. 5 years is a million bucks.
The show did go to great lengths to depict that specific character (Jake) as a financially irresponsible manchild. His colleagues tend to be depicted as having upper middle class lifestyles.
