Seriously, how did you think you could live in New York and not pay rent for years on end?
Rent is one of Broadway's most successful and beloved musicals, which was turned into an also-beloved movie.

Yes, of course, there's the fact that Benny said that they "were golden," as Roger put it, but that's no excuse.
