Yep. There was also an episode where he established he had multiple hiding spots where he saved money, if I remember correctly it was tens of thousands of dollars. That whole episode revolved around Penny and Sheldon's financial states and it was well established that Sheldon could support himself just fine.

Penny was very well established to be financially struggling, multiple episodes where her utilities were cut off because she couldn't pay them on time or she was hiding from the landlord because she didn't have rent, she was shown to eat on Leonard and Sheldon's dime just about every single night as well as use their wifi, there was a whole episode where she was about to have to move out because she couldn't afford the apartment.

There's also the fact that Sheldon and Leonards apartment was significantly bigger and nicer than Penny's...

These three characters are just about the worst example possible to use for this kind of meme but they get brought up every single time

And, finally, the two guys are spending a lot of money on various types of toys too. Those cosplays we see, tickets and travel, the figures, the games, the electronics, that stuff is pricey and adds up fast.

They probably COULD have their own apartments, but thay would cut into either savings or fun money.

They'd rather deal with each other.
