You can absolutely afford a single pineapple in real life on a fry cook's salary.

Are ya ready kids?!
Sure, but one that's under the sea? That's prime real estate; it doesn't come cheap.
I'm sure you can also afford a parcel of land submerged at the bottom of the ocean as well if such a thing was for sale
He lives on a dirt road outside of town, that can be cheap.
At the bottom of a nuclear test site
The alternate universe where "you" is a talking sponge and the "two story home" is a fruit.
If I'm not wrong in one episode is shown hoe the pineapple just dropped to sea bottom and he decided to mske it his home.
True, but Squidward's house is another story.
That thing is a whole robot.
Edit, Also Spongebob had his house before becoming a fry cook. And there had to have some insane costs to preserve the pineapple shell, gut the inside, then build a whole livable house inside.
I believe squidward's house is an Easter Island head or Moai.
whoops, I misunderstood, my bad
All good lol. In my search for confirming the robot house wasn't a fever dream, I did come across the actually description on the Spongebob wiki
"The house's exterior styling is reminiscent of a "Moai," giant statues found on Easter Island, Chile"
Well, in their defense, a sponge isn't larger than 10cm.
Natural sponges can be significantly larger. Something tells me his bright yellow coloring doesn't indicate natural though...
That color is what you get when you crawl out through the fallout
I think he's paid less than fry cook's salary
Got that passion job salary.
SpongeBob seems like a socialist utopian paradise, much like Star Trek.
Not yet, there's still a crab to fry
