They say friendship and money don't mix. But that's only in real life. In TV and film, this relationship has a whole different meaning. One Redditor decided to ask: How much did Joey owe Chandler, exactly?

It goes without saying that Joey seems like the most financially unstable person in the show, next to Rachel perhaps.

Luckily for him, he's got a rich roommate: Chandler!

Here's some math on a subreddit answered by user ASmileThatKills:

He says that there were 2 sets of head shots, each at $500. So there’s $1000. Let’s assume that the acting lessons, dancing lessons, and voice coach sessions were all $1000 on average. So now we’re at $4000.
He then says 3 years worth of rent, utilities, and food.

They live in Manhattan in a nice area of The Village, in a 2 bedroom, 1 bath, apartment on one of the upper levels. That is a very expensive location to live in; today an apartment like that would cost around $5000 a month easily, using Zillow.com as a guide (and I’m low balling it assuming they got a good deal). Using an online dollar appreciation site, and using the year 1997, i found that $5000 would translate too about $3500

The rent was supposed to be split 2 ways, so this is 3 years of chandler paying Joey’s $1250. So $45,000 in rent alone. Now we’re at $49,000.

And then there's food, because Joey is a pretty hungry guy.

Now for food, this is huge. Joey is known to be a huge eater, and add that to the fact that the group goes out to eat constantly; while watching the show you see that not only does chandler cover him every time they get coffee/dinner, he also gives joey money for him to go on all of the dates he constantly goes on; as well as chandler buys all the groceries (Which would be a lot). I can only guess the amounts but lets say $100 a week on groceries+$100 a week on pizza/takeout/coffee+ $50 a week for Joey’s dates, every week for 3 years (which i’ll say counts as 1997 value). So $39,000.

… Chandler basically funded the living expenses of a full grown man for 3 years in one of the most expensive parts of Manhattan, so it was pretty costly to him.

There could be more actually if you applied common sense. But did Joey pay him back? We're guessing not.

Total estimate: $108,760.

What a good friend. But remember, this isn't real-life.
