Hi Pokhraj! 🙂
@@coolbanana7 Hello
Girl, we are here for it 🎉🎉🎉
Logan did not lose millions in Vegas 😂 he lost it in his business deal.
Don’t get me wrong he is majorly privileged but still.
woot! Princess Weekes!!!!!
Luv-ah LUV-AH the take on Lorelei making Stars Hollow her own middle class fantasy. Especially given how hard she works to separate her ‘worlds’. And it wasn’t a spork household. She chose to leave privilege, she chose to leave her silver spoon. She also chose to eventually get a silver spoon for Rory (aka – Chilton).
Is stars hollow Lorelei’s version of Marie Antoinette’s fake farm? 🤔
Great video! I also hated when Loralei the First retracts her offer to set Rory up with a trust fund just because Lorelei and Emily fight about it. Like, WTF?
“sookie has 10,000 children” hahahaha
Loving Gilmore Girls and complaining about Gilmore Girls go hand in hand.
Lmaoo I’m Rory spending $20 for my fav study spot. Real studiers know I need my study spot!
While for sure Luke being loaded is ridiculous and unrealistic, I always wiped it away with 1) he would die for Lorelei and 2) he’s a man with very few needs himself. I imagine his individual cost of living is very, very low. Like wearing his flannels until they are unwearable (assuming also he repairs them as they do experience damage, see him sewing his duffle bag before Anna gifts him a new bag for his trip with April). He doesn’t pay rent because he owns the building but also before Jess moved in he was living in a tiny office space. Honestly would love to see what this man spends his money on because apart from Lorelei, he doesn’t seem to have any major expenses.
Well I find even more ridiculous and unrealistic that Kirk is loaded, like how? He had many jobs but I doubt he would be paid a lot.
It was also his dad’s tool store before it was his diner. There’s every possibility his dad left him some money that just never gets brought up.
I wish they had played up Lorelai’s sewing more. I can rationalize her inability to cook – her parents never would have taught her and she probably got most of her meals free or at a seriously reduced price at the inn. Learning to sew, though, seems to be the practical skill she picked up to save money. It only comes up a couple of times, but Lorelai had became a pretty competent seamstress by the time she made Rory’s prom dress in season one, and it seems like she started by turning old t-shirts into onesies for Rory.
Dude 1000000%
I came here to say this.
I’m surprised we didn’t touch on their constantly eating out. Also-whatever bill they were running up at Luke’s. I know this is a fictional show but I don’t remember ever seeing them pay for food or anything
In one of the episodes where Lorelai and Rory were fighting, Rory says “we have to pay for that” and we see Lorelai put down money. Also once she starts dating Luke there’s a whole conversation about Lorelai not having to tip anymore and how much she used to tip in the past.
I can sort of accept Luke having a big stash of money because he has very little overhead costs since his family I think owned the building, his diner was usually very busy and he only had one employee and he didn’t really have much expenses otherwise.
Why is princess Weekes in the Financial diet? What is going on? xD
I’m not mad, this is awesome! But also very unexpected.
as someone from Hartford county i really do wish star’s hollow existed…they made CT look way cooler than it is :/
Unrelated. Rory not marrying Logan and then being is side chick in the reboot is CRAZYYYYYY. Not to mention, she didn’t marry him so she could be successful and proceeded to fail as a journalist. Mind you, Logan was never holding her back.
Logan could have set her up with a job!!! It didn’t have to be a forever job but real tangible experience in the field that she could’ve spun into anything she wanted! Like it kills me how much she fumbled every aspect of her life 😭
@@Iamjustherek right! Expecting to leave Yale and get a dream job on what merit? With what connection? Now she has to be in the shadow because she’s a side chick. He can’t even help her as a friend.
Fax 😂
All fun & good, but at the end of the day it IS just a TV show. That said, I would’ve liked to hear a take on Kirk’s finances. Speaking of the Twickham house – Kirk mentions how many jobs he’s had, but with his age I really don’t think the amount of jobs he says is legitimate. Time-wise, impossible. Every time I watch this I’m like….uh uh, Kirk you swindling those ladies who give you their wedding /engagement rings. I’m sure he’s been left a pretty penny by them, too!
Doesn’t seem that unlikely that Luke had all that money, honestly. He built an extremely successful business (the diner is always packed) and he did it on the back of his father’s already established business, probably reducing the costs significantly. He is ridiculously frugal, to the point that it is a running joke. And he’s the responsible type, probably investing for years. Also, let’s remember this is the early aughts, not whatever this *gestures vaguely* economy nowadays is.
Also, he lived above the diner for most of his adult life meaning no real housing costs.
I love Princess’s hair! The critical thinking part of my brain really turned off back when I watched Gilmore Girls on TV. The study tree thing did NOT make sense to me. And yeah, I hated mostly hated Logan cuz he never checked his privilege and I think he was a very bad influence on Rory. The Kim family was honestly the more realistic version of working middle class.
In my house, we stan Lane Kim and Jess!
