That feuding story sounds ridiculous to me.
I seriously doubt KC is so unprofessional as to take her boyfriend problems to work. Or that she has no friends of her own and is expecting her colleagues to comfort her when they've got families to look after and jobs to do.

I agree that a storyline about Big losing his money and having him and Carrie try to muddle along like us regular plebes would interesting. Esp. if the other "girls" still have their good incomes and continue with their shopping, dining, etc. It's an interesting premise, but my all-time least favorite SatC episode was the one where Carrie had no money and threw a tantrum about having to TAKE the BUS, like it was the third ring of hell. I happened to be riding the bus to work when I watched that episode, it kind of rankled

The key word there is "mum" - that's gotta be a British tabloid story, and all they do is make stuff up. Yeah, Carrie without money was annoying as HELL. She seemed to expect Aiden to keep paying for her place. And then she was a snotty bitch about Charlotte having a lot of money. I would rather see the glittery overindulgence than poor mouth, martyr Carrie again.

Carrie relied on her job as a columnist to bring in her income. She could have just as easily gotten another job at a publishing company to supplement her income or the column could have been the supplemental income. I always wondered how the other girls felt about Carrie basically laying around her apartment all day or shopping while they got up and went to work in the real world.

Well, seeing as Charlotte stopped working after marrying Trey and never went back I doubt she would have had anything to say about it. As for the other two; well, I'm not much bothered by how many hours my friends work - and my slapping hand gets itching whenever anyone is dismissive about my workload because of the time off teachers get.
To be fair, Aidan had bought her apartment while they were dating and then when he broke up their engagement, told her he was selling it like the day after or something. Carrie really didn't have time to think about what was going to happen with the place once they were no longer together. If I was served with notice to either buy my place or leave, I'd be up shit creek, too.

Aidan was under no obligation to Carrie after they broke up and IIRC, he gave her plenty of notice to either buy or leave. If Carrie had been more responsible with her money (i.e. not spending it on shoes) she wouldn't have been up shit creek.

Aidan wasn't under any obligation, no, but Carrie still got the fuzzy end of the lollipop, there. I think a lot of people are in similiar situations with a partner where, maybe your partner hasn't bought a place outright, but you're sharing a mortgage/expenses and are counting on the second income and if it was suddenly taken away - shit.
True, if Carrie wasn't a shopaholic she might have had some savings. I'm fucking terrible at saving, too, though, so I'm more inclined to sympathise.

Was Carrie going to even pay for the share of the mortgage with Aidan? If she had to share the costs for new apartment Aidan was creating she wouldn't have had alot of money left at the end of the month. Carrie lived beyond her means but the breakup with Aidan did cause her to grow up when it came to her finances. She was a lot more careful when it came to Big.
Charlotte also worked for years in the gallery, quit to try to have a baby, when that marriage didn't work out she did start doing some volunteer work at a gallery and she is rich, she didn't have to work but chose to for many years.

I had no clue they were even filming until I saw the pics of SJP on set! Last I heard, things were being held up "indefinitely." Wow. I'm assuming nothing has been leaked as far as plotlines?
You know, when I saw the first movie in theaters, I didn't like it much at all, but since it's been airing on HBO, I find I watch it as a guilty pleasure whenever I see it on. I have to admit that I won't mind seeing Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha again. I really couldn't care less what happens to Carrie and Big. I'm sure they will have some bullshit conflict during which we are expected to sympathize with Carrie.

After all, isn't that what Carrie did in the last movie? At least I hope Kim isn't moping in bed all day and expecting the girls to take care of her.
