Juliette had it all going for her. She was educated, beautiful, well off enough to afford her own house, had her own profession, and she was the one who invited Nick to move in with her. Nick probably was intimidated by such a woman, one who seemed interested in him even though she was way out of his league. After all, he had nothing to offer her. Maybe he deliberately kept his Grimmness from her until he was proficient, in an attempt to attain at least a little status with her.
"slumming", "higher caste", "out of his league"? Where are you from so I know never to go there?! By the way, in the show it clearly states that they moved in Together!
Now, now, wfmyers, no need for insults. Let's keep the thread on track. If you don't understand what I'm saying, you can always ignore the discussion.
BTW, in the show, Nick left the house and moved in with Monroe. He would have never done that if it was his house.
There has been prior discussion about the house. Maybe the writers can explain the living arrangement/agreement/ownership. Was it a purchase with joint tenancy? Was it a rental with joint lessees? Yes, Nick left the house and moved in with Monroe. Then Juliette left the house and moved in with Renard. Should we assume the house was someone else's property? If Nick moves out who is left holding the bag (mortgage or lease)?
By the way I checked into PPD pay amounts. Per the PPD web page, detectives with 4+years earn $92,955 (http://www.portlandoregon.gov/police/article/454707). Also, a pay chart presented to the City Council showed a retiring detective division commander, Ed Brumfield, took home the highest pay in the fiscal year that ran from July 2011 to June 30, 2012 at $215,166, making more than the chief or his assistant chiefs.
The average pay for a DVM in Portland is $105,000 per Indeed. The top 10% of Portland veterinarians earn an average of $133,530 per Sokanu.
The writers have not provided annual compensation, investment income or net worth amounts for Nick or Juliette, however "slumming", "higher caste", "out of his league" does not seem to be supported by a cursory examination of online compensation data.
The vehicles Nick and Juliette drive look to be rather common. In comparison, the Royals likely ride in Bentleys and Lamborghinis. The wealthiest guy I knew drove a used Chevy. He could pay for a Bently in cash, but chose to enjoy life, make friends and be an honest businessman.
You can't judge a book by its cover.
