How come in all their long lives, the Golden Girls didn't save enough to buy own homes? Did they sell old ones?

This makes no sense. All of them seem over 60, widowed or divorced. If Rose had her own house in St. Olaf, Dorothy's ex-husband was an entrepreneur, did they keep renting with their husbands until the old age? And if they sold and deposited $ in banks, how come they never had any money to even repair the leaking roof?!How come in all their long lives, the Golden Girls didn't save enough to buy own homes?

Because it's called a TV show.How come in all their long lives, the Golden Girls didn't save enough to buy own homes? Did they sell old ones?
It has nothing to do with money, it was about living together and supporting each other after the husbands died/divorced. They were independent, but stuck together as friends.



And clearly they did have money since they did not work and were able to live active lives and were definitely not in squaller.
i agree with rob q.. not to mention after Dorthy remarried. the rest of them bought and ran a motel for awhile. I love that show...still watch it and im 26, hehe. i also like designing woman.
